my front windshield fogs up outside..

i was driving today in rain..kinda heavy rain..
i found out that my front windshiel fogged up..
and my side ones too(not whole window but part of them)
so i turned fan without a/c on but it didnt disappear..
so i turned on the a/c but it didnt disappear yet..
but i noticed that it kinda disappear when the wiper blades wiped it..(and then it appeared again)
i thought that it fogged up from outside..
but think about it..
how could it be possible to fogged up from outside? it was raining..
do any of u kno what causes this?
does my washing matter?
i use meguiars deep crystal car wash when i wash my car..
i soap my windows too..and i use the absorber to dry it..
ive had my car for 2weeks but i never cleaned my windows with windex or whatever..

Put rain X on your windows and that will help. I get that sometimes if it is really humid in the morning. I wipe it off with the windshield wipers.

Um okay...you were driving in heavy rain? how would you notice that your windshield was fogged on the outside? cause when i drive in heavy rain i only see clear at teh moment the wiper sweeps

did you notice this after it rained? cause if it was "after" the rain then it's just the humidity outside

I heard RainX will eat up your wipers, but I'm not sure. It did seem to make my stock wipers choppy and streak after a few months of using it though.

I sometimes will get fog on the outside right at the bottom of the front windshield that wont go away for like 10 minutes, but it doesnt make sense that it fog would build while its still raining. Strange...

I used RainX and now I'm pretty mad. My wipers are ****ed up so I have to replace them. They're leaving huge streaks. I'm disappointed..

if you use rain x, you don't need to use your wipers so they won't get f***ed up...

How does that work? Unless Rain X can make the water just slide right off the car then I don't see how it's possible for you NOT to use your wiper blades while it's raining...

USE THE FRIGGIN DEFROST... you obviously were using the A/C with it on COLD... thus making the windshield COLD.. duh... put the a/c on with it on HOT... problem solved.

Thats basically how Rain-X works, but it doesnt work that great unless you're driving at a decent speed and it is actually raining. If its just sprinkling outside, then the rain drops arent 'heavy' enough to roll off the windshield.
