the OP wants to know how to reduce steaming up of inside window not how to clean it.

Try gillette or cheap shaving foam - its amazing. Try it on ure bathroom mirror polish it off then have a shower. it will not steam up.

squirt on the inside of the windscreen then buff off.

Condensation on the inside is caused by damp.

I have a 1kg bag of silica gel in the car. I dry it out in the house on a radiator once a week and leave it in the car the rest of the time - makes a huge difference.

I had the advantage of knowing it was caused by damp - I regularly have a soggy doggy in the back!

It does need to be a big bag of silica gel - at least 500g.

You can get colour indicating gel which changes colour between pink and blue when its dry/damp. Which is fine if you have it open to the air - but that's not going to work in a car! So in MSE style, its cheaper to buy standard. You need to find a bag which lets damp through, but which stops the silica gel spilling all over the place - a cotton bag is ideal.

I leave it in the car during the week, and pop it on the radiator at the weekend.

I smear the windows with fairy liquid works a treat

Steaming up can be caused by a blocked pollen filter. Our Astra used to suffer terribly whenever it rained, but since replacing the pollen filter (it was absolutely sodden and fell apart when removed) the problem vanished.

If you have it use aircon all the time.
