i have to laugh at interior 'anti-fog' products. all they do is make the windows bead up the moisture. The best way to prevent interior window fog is to have your hvac in working condition and just clean your windows, nothing special is needed everytime, just wipe off the dust/grime.
as for rain-x ya it works ,as long as you put it on correctly.
Teflon windsheild washer is a joke too. same with teflon wipers. such crap, they just streak.

Rain-X is one of those rare products that comes in a bottle that does exactly what it says it does. Great stuff, wouldn't be without it. Those that can't stand it usually haven't taken the time to apply it correctly. Careful around your paint tho, learned many years ago it destroys paint on contact, fortunately it was on an old truck. As for wipers, Bosch only please.

I use Rain-X on all of my vehicles.
There's nothing cooler than heading down the highway in the rain and having the water just bead-up and fly off the windshield -- I rarely even use my wipers! Even if it doesn't rain, it makes it infinitely easier to clean bugs and such off of your windshield at wash time! My wife (who is a complete automotive idiot) even noticed it when I first started putting it on her car. She said, "Whatever you're doing to my windshield, keep doing it!"
I even put it on Blue, even though I would never even think of driving him in the rain!
I've always said that if every product was like Rain-X (cheap, easy to use, does what it says) the world would be a better place!

I love the stuff on my windows and run their washer fluid too. I used to apply it to my headlight and fog light lenses too, but RockPick shared some info a while back showing that it actually degrades the plastic surface, so no more of that for me.
Here's another use. I used to run the stuff on the plastic face shield for my helmet when I raced offshore powerboats. It really made a difference when you got hosed down by some idiot's rooster tail. I didn't worry about degrading the plastic there since the shields were cheap.

That's up to you... it will, however, definitely cause some hazing and discoloration over time due to the nature of the chemical (high volatile organic content) RAIN-X WIPES MSDS.
As you can see, a lot of alcohol is in there.. you wouldn't wipe down all of your plastic with straight rubbing alcohol -- why do it with a product that really isn't made for plastic?
