Morning Dew on the windows

Any products that prevent the windows from getting dew on them? It's almost like there's no point in cleaning the windows if every morning they get screwed up from the dew.
Any help is appreciated.

Now, that is an interesting question that I would like to research myself. I know many people would say something like Rain-X or Aquapel but I am not sure how those products are against dew.

I've found that the only thing that works is getting up, squeegee-ing the windows, and drive an hour to work. Otherwise, I get spots.

I have the same problem with my body panels (black car.) I wash the car on thursday/friday afternoon to prepare for the weekend, but saturday or sunday morning, I get up late, and spots are already all over =(

Put a sunshade over it (or any other substitute)..It might not prevent fog but it'll prevent morning dew..

I hated this. and sprinklers in the summer, hardest water ive ever seen. But parking in the garage is the ultimate solution, otherwise just get up and wipe it off. its not THAT much work, and your up anyways (hopefully!)

squeegee it is; I really wasn't sweating it, but on the internet you never know what kind of solutions ppl have come up with so I thought I'd ask.

I think I'd ask him to stop actual dirt from accumulating on my car before dew.
