Hey all! I wash my windows on a consistent basis and my windows keep fogging up. I dont smoke, Ive used windex and many other glass products but still the same "film" like fog on my windows. Does anyone have any suggestions??

turn on the a/c with the defroster.

dont know if youve tried it, but rain-x anti-fog works very well for me.

The A/C thing always works, but I was looking for a permanent fix. Fog-X didnt work for me, I dont know why. Thanks for the responses. Anyone else?

well most cars when you turn the defroster it turns on the a/c as well to dry out the air. Thats why it clears the windows so well.

the RS the a/c doesnt turn on, and thats why the windows fog up.

so you have to turn the a/c on yourself ;)

I just crak open all the windows, just about a 1/2 inch does it. You just have to do it before they fog up. If they still fog up you're breathing too much, stop it. :)

Do you have an aversion to a/c? I can't imagine not using it or being in an area where it's not needed. There isn't anything you can put on the glass to keep it from fogging up no matter what. As you wrote, the a/c always works, so what more is really needed?

even if it's cold out.. i use the AC...
just swap settings to warm...

AC on all the time :)

fog x and the likes are OK at best....
this is an extreme factor during rally events too...

we keep the windows clean...
and the defroster running... if you cant see, you cant drive :)

I've had this same problem before, I tried that fox-x stuff and they still fog up badly, I would have the defroster on full blast and it wouldn't work and I found that having the A/C on like has already been mentioned took care of the problem. Ever since I've been using the A/C with the defroster haven't had a problem or gripe since.

Clean the windows with rubbing alcohol, then take either fog-x or dishsoap (yes dishsoap) and apply a thin film on the windows. Couple other tricks, make sure your vent is pulling from outside, not recirc (recirc just keeps the same humid air charge in the car). Also, do you smoke in the car? If so, you need to clean the windows much more frequenly cause the tar helps make fog on the windows.
