Glass Fogging

What do you guys do about glass fogging? My glass LOOKS clean, but many times in the evening, my windshield fogs like crazy.

I've seen RainX's Anti-Fog product.....what do you guys use to keep your glass from fogging?
 
Are you talking about where you need to use you defroster?

I am not sure there is anything you can use, I believe its just forming form the temperature difference from the inside of the car and th out.
 
Turning the recirculation button OFF helps when that's happening to me. It allows the outside air to circulate through your vent system and helps with the fogging issue.
 
i dont know of a product but mix the air half cold and half hot then blow it like crazy on defrost and it will clear up right away.

I'm with Stephan what fog are you talking about?

moisture related or haziness type?

If its moisture then most likely its just a natural occurance that happens from the temperature differences between the inside and outside of the vehicle...if its a haziness in the glass, its probably just a film of dirt, grease what have you that has formed and can be remedied by a simple glass cleaner.
 
If you are talking about moisture fogging, and I think you are.
One thing I have noticed about the moisture fogging of windows is that it seems to be worse after you have washed a vehicle. I'm guessing that there is lots of moisture present in the air ducts and the window/door cavities that contribute to the problem. Like the others, I just run the defroster.
I will sometimes drive with the windows down until I get cold.

Another type of fogging can be caused by interior materials of the vehicle.
The interior plastics of a vehicle go through a process referred to as out-gassing. This will often leave a film that looks like the smoke film that occurs in cars that are smoked in. It really puzzles non-smokers who get lung cancer haze on their windows.
Other than cleaning and dressing the plastic and vinyl regularly, I don't know of anything you can do.
I really don't know the cleaning and dressing does any good, but at least I feel like tried. :)
I do wash the windows at least weekly to try to keep it at bay.
Another thing that helps is drive an old car that the vinyl and plastic no longer is out-gassing.
