RainX Anti-Fog ? (or similar products)

[Kiltox]

Anyone ever used this? http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/...

The rear side windows in my car like steaming up if I have the heater on and it's a bit of a pain - hoping this stuff could sort it out

Reviews on the website aren't fantastic however they rarely are...

I've used the anti fog and normal rain x, and while rain X itself is excellent, I'm not sure with the anti fog stuff. Once on the go it is keeping side windows clearer, I just don't expect everything to be nice and clear first thing in the morning!
ETA: I'd have given you a try of it if you were further up this way.

Rain-X is excellent but the anti-fog is truly sh*t, attracting moisture more than dispelling it. Try a tray of cat litter in the back to absorb the moisture in the air.

Note removing the cat will improve the performance of this particular car modification

Hmmmm.........

Not exactly a permanent solution.

Cannot recommend Rain-X anti fog highly enough. Due to a constant leak (what 70s car doesn't) The Triumph mists up like a good'un. Applied this stuff to the windows and it works brilliantly. Only problem is, you do have to reapply after a certain amount of time. Can't remember what this is though, haven't done it in a while!

Same here - was the only way I could keep the windows on my MGBGT properly clear in winter.

Little bit of washing up liquid or handwash on a paper towel, rub it into the windows and polish back and forth until the residue disappears. Works better than anything else I've tried yet on the racer.

My rear windows used to fog up quite a bit during last winter until I bought a 1kg bag of silica crystals from Lakeland and left that in the car. It helps keep the moisture down to a level where the windows no longer steam up

Just put the air con on. it will dehumidify and clear the windows.

Doesn't have air con.......

I used it in my car (77 MGB GT) and it appeared to do absolutely sod all

I found it hard to appreciate the benefit of less misting because of the smearing. I cleaned and reapplied, twice. Imho the best thing about it is that the bottles can be recycled.
