Yah, I kind of hoped that my days of manual wiping were over when I made the transition to volvos from VW's. I guess I will have to keep a cloth handy for those extra-foggy times when I'll need an outside wipe down. Here in Oregon, if I tried to put anything on the outside windows, it would just wash off in the rain every five days or so. At least the problem is not significant inside, and the heat actually WORKS, like it never quite did in my old busses!
