What type of glass cleaner you use?

Guys, I am annoyed by the haze and fog that my window creates... On my FRS, I always have condensation build. On my friends car, same temperature and everything... he doesn't get the same amount of fog.

Of course, if I open the fans (not AC) in the hot temperature it goes away.... however, what type of glass cleaner you use?

My BRZ gets foggy quicker than my RDX and tC. It usually happens when the air recirculation is on. I use invisible glass.

I use this

Griot's Garage Window Cleaner

I have found that it is vitally important to use the correct towels if you really want a clean window. Make sure that you do not use any fabric softener on your towels, and do not use any hand lotion on your hands prior to cleaning the windows, or wear some nitrile gloves. When I want to get the window really clean, I use one of these towels for the cleaning:

Griot's Garage Lint Free Towels

Either spray on the window and wipe off, or saturate the towel and wipe on the window. Then finish drying with a clean towel. If you are doing a lot of glass, when the "dry" towel starts to become wet, throw the wet towel, make the old "dry" towel the wet towel, and start with a fresh "dry" towel.

It's the humidity built up in the car. Use the AC to dehumidify the car.

An alternative is to Crack a window.

the cleaner is not as important as the towels you use to clean with. no cleaner will be able to counter the ambient air/humidity but a dirty towel will never keep a window clean no matter what cleaner you use.
