defogger spray?

i was driving the other day with a full car (1 extra in front and 3 in the back) and it started to fog up like mad in the back windows. I blasted the defogger and tried to get the fog away but it wouldnt evaporate fast enough..

i was wondering if there were any sprays to spray on the windows to defog it permently (or less). I know that there are prodcuts such as hockey mask defogger and scuba defoggers but im not sure if they work the same way.

its beginning to annoy me because i cant really see out the window half the time. thanks in advance..!

MERRRY CHRISTMASS!

I dont know if theres any products that do it, I know on some of the higher end cars they put film on the front windhsheild to keep it from fogging. Kinda looks pixelated hard to get used to at first. Ive seen it in jags.

With fog, just remember this principal. Fog happens because the temperature outside is different from the temp inside.

Crack a window, get those vent strips so not as much wind/snow/rain get in. Do it in the back if you want your rear defrost.

Other then that for mild fog just open your windows should give you enough room to check your blindspots and mirrors. The back windsheild is convenient but not critical. Your side mirrors arnt that bad.

rainx anti-fog, you coulod get it in the wipes form or the spray bottle form. i bought some from walmart awhile back, they were great i didnt even run my defogger for the few months after i applied it. make sure you apply it consistently or you'll get fog spots on your windows. i believe the antifog stuff is the same as the stuff you in ski or swimming goggles. merry christmas

c kim is an unknown quantity at this point
Just go to your local walmart and look for it there in the automotive section. The rain-x anti fog at my store was right beside the wiper blades, not near the other auto glass cleaners.
Just a suggestion but the bottle it comes in is a little squirt type bottle. I transferred mine over to a spray bottle. Just an empty bottle of hairspray or try finding something smaller. it's easier to apply and doesn't waste it, as it would if I squirted it onto a cloth.
