The Fog Stuff...
I tried this and threw it away. I just keep the inside clean and use the defroster if needed.

Just leave the a/c button on even when it raining outside, that will take care of the fogging problem. Also don't leave the recirculate button on, that fogs up your windows and also causes mold to grow on your coils.

I called Rain-X and they said to use SoftScrub (the kitchen cleaner) for removal of their products.

I used Rain-X windshield wax, which was a big mistake. It wouldn't buff off and made the windows look waxy. I would recommend using the original Rain-X over their wax.

Just to clarify, the original Rain-X and Rain-X windshield wax are for the outside of the windows and the anti-fog stuff is for the inside.

I just use Poor Boys quick deatail spray. I find it cleans better than rain-x and repells water just as well.

I also use RainX on the rims. Keep it cleaner and easier to clean the rim.

Ive used rain X before right befroe it poored and it was great. Just got to clean your windows really well before ad make sure you wipee all the rain x off when it dries.
Never tried fogx and i guess I never will. If it sucks that bad.
For car shows I put tire shine on my wheels. makes them shinier.
