i always carry a cloth for the inside of the windscreen, btu the fast way i have found to get rid of the steam is to use the AC and the heater and run the air con when the car is on if not all the time then most of it...it dries the inside of the car  :)

Make sure that the pollen filter has been changed, as these can cause misting up, plus do not put the "recirculate" switch on, as that keeps the sweatyness in the car.

You can get anti fog fluid to treat the iside of the windows.  This helps, my freelander fogs up becuase it gets wet inside due to loading it full of garden rubbish and general outdoor use.

Recirculate is on the dash (normally shows outline of a car with arrows going round inside)
Stops air coming in from outside and recirculates inside air.

I treat my windows with anti fog (rainex make one) and use full blower, hottest setting and aircon.

Mine mist up depending on weather

You can make your own anti fog solution from methylated spirits and washing up liquid. I will get the exact proportions from work next week
