I've been using a Magic Eraser on the inside to get rid of the film and it works really well. Just apply light pressure on the glass with a slightly damp magic eraser.

The key to not having your windshield fog up is to remove the film build up on it that is causing the fogging (as described in posts above).

A really cheap way to do that is just clean the inside of the glass with a microfiber cloth and rubbing alcohol. That will strip off the layer of film, and also don't have to worry about scratching with a Magic Eraser.

My windshield used to fog up really bad, even after cleaning with Windex and stuff like that. Until someone told me about cleaning it with a bottle of rubbing alcohol. Works fantastic and is really cheap, and most people already have a bottle of rubbing alcohol in the home.

The plastic and vinyl in your car actually off gasses and forms a thin film on the inside of your windshield. This is why it can appear slightly hazy even if you never get it dirty.

So you wash it off with water or anything after? Even when I use this on walls, you can see a film so have no idea how glass would not show it.

Get rid of the film?
Yes. it completely gets rid of the film. But do not let it sit or it may dry. Wipe off with a clean microfiber or you will have to do it all over again. Do one side at a time. Then go over it with a good non-ammonia base glass cleaner. I like Invisible Glass. Sprayed it on microfiber towel instead of spraying on the glass because it will get all over the dash. Good luck.

Wouldn't this scratch the glass?

Never forget: Magic Eraser is abrasive and is basically fine wet sanding...

Thanks OP. Other Rain-X products are on sale as well, including liquid anti-fog and original liquid Rain-x for windshields. I bought one of each.
Too bad, I don't see the additive going on sale. I usually add water during summer and add half bottle of this additive to test of the water as we have only one or two freeze warning for the whole season and I garage my cars anyway.

I added everything that was marked as a significant discount from original price and the original price isn't even close to the normal prices elsewhere. The sponge itself I could not find, but the other items clearance prices like windshield wiper fluid are regular price.

There's a 3.5oz original treatment bottle that says $3.26 down from $8. 7oz goes for $9.50 on Amazon, so slight savings. Unless you want to send your kid out around the neighborhood cleaning windshields you can get the same price on a "Prime Early Deal" of 12 bottles for $36
Carrand 45116X Defogger Sponge is anywhere from $9.82 to $16.96 on Amazon

Does anyone know if the magic eraser thing is safe for rear windows with the defroster elements?

Yes and no. It's abrasives are made of relatively soft plastic. It's only abrasive to materials that are softer than those plastics. It absolutely cannot 'wet sand' glass anymore than a plastic ice scraper can scratch it.

To those wondering about a magic eraser on glass, glass is way harder than the eraser's abrasives. Add in some moisture and you won't have any scratches. If want to do things the right way, order a proper glass prep product like Stoner's invisible glass stripper. It uses a glass compound/polish (abrasive) to remove contaminants. After you clean those up, you can apply rain x or a sealant to the glass. It will last way longer with fully clean windshield than simply applying after a class cleaner. Bonus if you use an iso wipe before applying rainX.

I just applied a similar product (Glaco) to my cars (live in Seattle) and expect it'll last through the end of winter, if not much longer.
