I just figure getting in and out with wet feet doesn't help.

Have had one of these in the car for the past couple of days.
Aero 360° Pure
There is liquid in the bottom trap, so it is doing something, but the car windows are sometimes still misted up when I head out.

I think @weeloaney recommended that same one on here a week or more back, been meaning to get a couple myself.
The others available in pound shops etc work fine, the ones divided into two with moisture absorption magic beads in the top. They end up with the bottom half filled with water. Just need to be kept upright in a door pocket or similar.
These things do work, have that pingi one in my rover on the dash (when not drive) and helps at the front, it's passing water into the boot tho so back always steams up.
But really do make a difference and worth a try at £9. I bought mine in Asda 2/3 weeks ago and dot has just turned pink.
Have a bigger one in the Range Rover for a year and has been great as it sits about a lot.
But noticed it's not as good as it used to be, but a £15 it lasted well I think
Edit: as said you can get the ones that have crystals in the top and hold the water underneath, most of the time I find the crystals melt (as there meant to do) and stick together and stop working. Also if they do work and tip over then the empty they horrible gunky water out.
Just keep them in the door pocket! Also they're only a quid so when's it's done just get another one!

Also good at removing dye from certain liquids, so I'm told.

As said above salt in a bucket or bowl works amazing.
If your door pockets are big enough
The like of that pingi one is small and doesn't look outa place

Rice in a sock is what I use.
Sounds a bit uncomfortable, driving around like that.

Ordered two of these to give them a go... one for the front and one for the back.
That's the one I have in the Range Rover, might order a couple more. I think I paid £10/15 last year

I had one of those two tier jobbies in the Subaru, great job and it wasn't long of filling the bottom section with water.
Main problem was I had it in the boot while waiting to fix a water leak, and would forget to remove it before going for a drive the odd time, and it usually ended upside down in a corner with the water all spilt out again ffs.
Have a bowl of salt in the soarer, seems to be working well so far

Knowing my luck I'd spill a bit of the salt and there would be no 106 left by the morning.

I feel your pain I drive a ford, although they aren't as bad as a mk5 golf. They are a ****ing tea bag

I'm not too sure.
I was on the motorway and had to pass a grit lorry the other night. I'm sure my neighbours were questioning my sanity when I was outside rinsing the underside of a scabby 106 at 11:30pm, in the rain. I'm pretty sure if I didn't it would be a write-off by now.

Bothers got a 2005 mk5 and the only rust on the body is a little on the edge of the wings but that's only cause the wheels kiss it when on near full lock and hitting a bump
Rest is fine, and it's not that well look after.
keeping the air moving in the vehicle helps too. So always keep the fan on at least one click and make sure the vents aren't blocked up with leaves or whatever. Keep it on fresh rather than recirc. If you have aircon use it along with the heater if you need to, because it dries the air. If you're storing the car indoors, crack the windows open a tiny bit, but not enough to let the mice in; less than 10mm.
