Default Car fogs up fast

Are there nay ways to keep my 1995 Honda Civic EX from not fogging up so much. Obviously the defroster and stuff, but that doesn't seem to work. i usually have to clear it with A/C. Is this a common problem and what can I do so it doesn't happen?

Make sure the windows are clean. Sounds like a stupid suggestion, but having very clean windows helps quite a bit. I wonder if you can put the anti-fog stuff from scuba diving lenses on it??

stop breathing? Nah, you could try some of that no-fog stuff from like autozone and places, but I've heard mixed opinions on it. If it's real bad just crack a window until the defogger can get a chance to do it's job

Here is a simple fact suprisingly some people do not know. In the summertime when you use the A/C set the climate control to use the inside (circulating air). In the winter time, when using the heat, set the climate control to use the outside (fresh) air. If you use the circulating air in the winter, yes the car heats up quicker....but fogs the hell out of the car.

Make sure your Fresh Air button is on and not the Recirculation button.

My parent's grand prix does this really bad also. There's has an air leak though and that's probably is what's causing it. Have you checked for leaks or your weather stripping?

clean the windows really well . . . . and use the AC when you're running the defogger. It dries out the air so there's less fogging.

I have an inside-chamois that I use to de-fog the windows (when I dont use ac)

Also, if it doesnt freeze where you are, try the rainX anti-fog wipes....but if it freezes it just makes it a hell of a lot worse w/ frozen rainX chemicals instead

I tried out just using the outside air and I have had no problems with fogging since.

The anti-fog that rainx makes works great, but I can only use it on my windshield since all my others are tinted
