Inside windscreen smear
Well now the weathers getting colder my car has started steaming up etc. and the previous owner to me has tried to wipe the inside. and on the way home today with the sun quite low in the sky all i could really see is smudge marks.
anybody know anything i can use? on my old car tried using wipes etc but never seemed to work very well.

Best thing i have ever used.. After you polish your car, use the cloth you applied the polish with, and do the inside of the glass, then polish off with microfibre towel.. Works better than anything else iv used!

I especially like mine, because you don't have to buy glass products, and chances are, you will have a cloth with some polish on haha!

Glass cleaner or even just water.

I use rainx antifog stuff on the range rover. Put on with kitchen roll, it's good. Doesn't smear, removes any crap, and actually refreshingly does what it says on the tin, so to speak.

AG Fastglass is good. I went all out yesterday and probablly too far but i clayed then used halfrauds intensive glass cutter and finally AG glass polish on the inside as well as the outside and the results were really good. I have angelwax rain repellent which is excellent. Sounds like it has the same idea as that fog fight. It forms a hydrophobic coating on the glass so it just beads off. I noticed the other morning when other cars had frozen mine stayed relatively ice free so makes a difference!

Fog fight is hydrophilic and goes on the inside, if you put something like angelwax on the inside I would imagine you would get beads of water running down the inside of the windscreen and forming a puddle on your dash haha.
