Yes Ben, there is such a substance.  I think it's called Anti-Fog, and 
it's made by the same folks that make Rain-X.  It seemed to work pretty 
well, but it gets tediuous putting it on all of the time.  It lasts for a 
while, but I hate to climb around and do inside windows.  It just wasn't 
worth it to me.  Keep in mind that this was with another car, and my Audi 
rarely has problems with fogging.  

Check and see if you have an anti-freeze film on your windows.  When a 
heater core goes, it films the windows with that oh-so-stick coolant.  On 
the simpler side, lower all of the windows about 1/2" .  It won't freeze 
passengers, but allows air to circulate.
