Default How To Deal With Fogged Windows

What is a proper fast way of dealing with Fogged windows. I've given up, because somehow I don't know how to make it go away. I've tried, A/C toward window, Heating toward Window and pulling windows down. So what's the proper way of getting fogged windows get un fogged.

Use the defrost buttons on the climate control panel. It takes maybe 30 seconds to have an effect depending on how fogged up the windows are, but works for me! #11 is front defroster, #13 is rear defroster in picture below.

Also, RainX makes some anti-fog stuff you apply to your windows. I have it but have never applied it myself, the defrosters work well enough for me.
