No, the car is completely dry when I get in the car.

Did you try cleaning the window from the inside with invisible glass or windex? Sometimes when my window fogs it does so in a pattern that looks like streaks if I do a bad job cleaning the window.

It's not streaks from fingerprints. It's actual moisture. You can see it go away... And I wipe it away every 10 minutes or so when its really cold out.

Rain X makes an anti fog product that you wipe on your windows. Get some of that and see if it helps

It's 36 F out with 88% humidity it says for NJ.


I took these pictures as soon as I got in my car tonight.

The 2nd to last picture is AFTER I wiped it down with a towel.

2nd picture you can see I drew a smiley face in it.

4th picture down is what it looks like when I am driving without wiping it down with a towel. The right side is more cloudy since I didn't touch that area... You can see how it's hard to see through.

I'm only saying my A/C works because it puts out cold air...


I'll get my car looked at this week by a mechanic? Maybe my freon is low? I got it recharged last year since it came without it... (previous owner drained freon to race it I think)

Do you ever smell antifreeze? If your heater core leaks a little it will do that. Even though the ac helps it's not neseccary. Lot of people delete their AC's
