Default Do you wipe your rear window with a cloth

Hi. In the morning my rear window is always wet and fogged up on the outside so I keep a cloth handy and wipe it and the windows down before driving off to work. Is this a routine with other S owners too? Or is there a better way?

Another issue: does your rear view mirror fog up when driving? Is there a solution?

Isn't there a defrost button on your gauge cluster?

Yes, but I'm referring to fog and moisture, not frost. Don't some believe that a swipe of a cloth is faster than the defrost feature for this?

wiping with a cloth will only get you so far cause (warning science content) the window surface is still the temp of the ambient air which is at the dew point hence the moisture build up. using an anti fog will make the pores in the glass smaller and not allowing the dew to build up and what does build up will bead right off

No problem here. Doesn't get dewy in my garage and I either put the top down or it is already down before I leave.
