I noticed tonight, (never noticed it before), that the windows were very slightly misting up, even tho the air con is on. (I rarely turn it off).

I checked the air con, by turning it on and off, and adjusting the temp up and down and it all seems to be as normal, so I am thinking maybe it was because it was cold, we have a slight frost forming tonight?

A hot interior and cold exterior can often mean steaming, if you put the front demist on it should clear it

I've applied Car Pro - Fog Fight (http://www.juicydetailing.co.uk/engine-exterior/car-pro-fog-fight-100ml-kit/flypage_images.tpl.html) to all interior windows in both cars and haven't seen misting in months.

Have applied it once and still keeping it at bay.

Yeah when I turned it on it cleared quick. Might do a scan tomorrow just to be sure, but what your saying makes sense, so hopefully im worrying for nothing!

I don't think its much to worry about to be honest. Both our cars have been struggling at night with the cold weather and I know both are working ok.

Chis, your glass treatment sounds interesting. Is it easy to apply / leave smear free?

Yeah very easy to apply, see the bottom link I posted above. You need to make sure everything is clean as it can be, ie vinegar and newspaper is the only way for pre-treatment.

Cheers Chris, although my top tip for really clean glass is Auto Finessse, Crystal Glass. It really is super easy to clean the glass and achieve a smear free finish!

Check your pollen / cabin filters. Common cause
