Turn off your ac button and push your auto button for climate control. The auto button has a sensor on the dash that monitors the inside temp and reduces condensation without the need for the ac button to be on.

Sounds like you have a lot of moisture inside your car and your AC is constantly trying to dehumidify the air in your car. Of course that moisture will condense on the cooler glass surfaces causing them to mist up.

I find that super clean interior glass helps a little. Maybe your floor mats or carpets need to be "dehumidified" ... from time to time run the heater on full with windows open might help drive out humidity.
