Remove Window and Windshield Condensation
There are several strategies available for removing window and windshield condensation, some of them targeting condensation's source - temperature discrepancy. You can also purchase solutions from car shops which make the removal of condensation much faster and easier. To give you a clearer view of things, here are some of the strategies for removing windshield condensation:

•Toggle the Air-Conditioner/Heater - The appearance of condensation is caused by the difference in temperature. What you can do is balance the temperature by toggling on the air-conditoner or heater's thermostat. Try to match the outside temperature, as much as possible. You will know you're on the right mark, once the droplets begin to fade. You might as well leave that temperature on, so the moisture will not return.
•Leave the Air-Conditioner's Vent Open - Leaving the vent open promotes a gradual change in temperature inside the car, which prevents the appearance of moisture. The difference in temperature between the car's interior and the outside environment also won't be big enough to begin condensation.
•Dehumidifying Solution - The solution will not prevent the appearance of condensation, but it will certainly speed up the removal of the water droplets from your windshield. Apply a generous amount on your windows and windshield. When traveling, a gust of wind is enough to remove the pesky coat of droplets. You can purchase the solution at all car supply stores.
•Park in an Enclosed Area - Enclosed areas, like garages and indoor parking spaces, have a more controlled shift in temperature, as compared to open areas. The gradual temperature change prevents the formation of condensation. So if you don't have an enclosed garage, better reserve slots at enclosed parking areas.
