I hate when this happens to my car in the morning. Anything to avoid this from happening (besides putting it in the garage)?

rain x treatment possible.

If the moisture is on the inside and its very bad, you need to let the car air out during the day. Let her warm up and blast w/ the defroster. I know, it sucks, I have a loudish exhaust too and in my neighborhood, it is an issue. :bang:

If the loud exhaust is an issue, I can buy your catback from you :D It is encouraged where I'm from haha.



But yeah, not garage here. In fact, I am going outside in 3 minutes to start my defrosting process to head to work :( The winter time is no fun!

Move to a warm, dry climate. Problem solved. :)

From the time I start my car to let it idle down to normal and wipe off the windows is just about perfect. I keep an old towel/t-shirt behind my drivers seat and wipe off the side windows/mirrors enough to see out of and the sides of the back glass so I can see for lane changes. Defrost alternating with heater in the mornings after I pull out of the driveway. It's a b&*#$ but you get used to it. Happens for about 5 month out of the year where I live. <3 Humidity

Rain-ex helped a lot with the morning dew in FL.

The issue I have with the towel is that it leaves smudges that you notice at night when you get glares from other cars.

I use a California water blade to remove the condensation off my windows in the morning, takes a few seconds and works perfectly, no smudges. I dont drive the car in the winter though, so idk what would work for frost. Though this isnt a way to keep it from happening... it is a quick way to get rid of it after it happens...

I think I read here on this forum years ago that if you put vinegar on your windows that they wouldn't get like that in the morning.
