Default Clean windows?

It seems the newer cars are getting tougher and tougher to keep the windows clean. The inside of the windows are tough too. It seems they are always getting a film on them. Any suggestions on what product to use?

Its the plastics inside your car that are gassing. Its the new car smell that is
coating your windows. It will disipate over time and get better.

Not sure what to use to prevent it, but I use newspaper on the inside. It does a great job of removing the film and leaving it streak free and lint free. I generally use a little glass cleaner to cut through it.

Yeah, the outgassing ofthe plastics tends to cloud up the windows, but I'm beginning to suspect the interior plastic cleaners (Meguiars, Black Magic, Armor-all(gasp), etc) are as much to blame as well.

DB is correct, some of this film will disipate over time. Beyond that, use Stoners Invisible Glass for cleaning the windows....Works great!!
