Rain-x
I like the interior window defogger one. It works, but the normal one for the outside, make the wipers chatter. I don't get why. I cleaned the window and the wipers with windex before I applied it. It makes the windows feel like paint after a wax. The rain clears easily tho. Some people say that the drips are annoying, but it doesn't bother me.

yeah, rain-x on the windshield will cause your wipers to be worthless.
One other thing, windex is not good for rubber.It's fine for the windshield, but don't apply it directly to the wiper blades.

Oh crap... they make one for the interior/defogger? Must purchase! My Impreza has not heat and I'd rather not freeze with AC defrosting (or refrosting? heh)

I just put car wax on my windshield. Works just as well as Rain-x without the nasty side effects.

I use rain-x on ALL the windows. At first, it did that annoying chattering. But it just needs to be worked in - make sure you don't press the wipers until the window is SOAKED in water. Eventually it does get better, and worked super well over the winter for me.
Only gripe I have with it is that it only lasted one season on the front windshield where the wiper hit - the stuff is expensive, and it DOES get wiped off slowly with the windshield wipers. Maybe I'll try the wax. I don't usually wax my car, the paint is already is such bad shape.

Meguiar's Quik Wax from the spray bottle works wonders on mine.
