Stuff always worked HORRIBLY for me. Always left the window very streaky, even when following the directions to a 't' ...

Also, wouldn't come off, so I had a swirly, streaky window that made it impossible to see at night (when light hits it, the window was damn near white). Took me using like five applications of glass cleaner and heavy scrubbing to get it off.

Works like ***. I never could get all the residue off of my old car. The windows fogged up worse after I applied it.

Check for water leaks though. Do you have light lines going down the windshield when it's foggy?

Just means your car was warm when you parked.

I just turn the defroster on and let her warm up.

Oh, and water lines down the windshield on the inside means you have standing water in your car. What happens is the standing water just sits there in your trunk or whatever while you're away. The water evaporates and rises. Then it condenses on the bottom of the metal roof. It runs down the windshield and also can drip into the headliner. Because the headliner is held on with water soluble adhesive, this can cause the headliner to sag. Plus you have a water leak and are risking rust, electrical issues, mildew, etc.

Water leaks FTL.

Get Honda Access or Weather-Tech window visors. Then you can crack your windows to smoke when it's raining, and also to equalize the inside and outside temp (to dissipate the condensation). They're functional ... and they look good too.

Only way to have the window cracked without water coming in.

this product is horrible, i feel it made the problem worse rather than eliminate the fog. Don't get me wrong I am not biased against the company as I use the exterior window treatment all the time.

I love normal Rain-X (cleans decently too). So I was surprised the anti-fog was so bad.
