Default foggy windows

ok so i have a question. i wash the windows all the time and it seems like the windows after a couple of hours will get this film on the inside of them. when i wipe them off i see like a black mess all over the rag. im not sure what i can do to make it come out for good. any suggestions?

As a final step to interior class cleaning, I like to use a dry microfiber to buff off the haze.

The haze is usually caused by the outgassing or decomposition of the interior plastic..just make sure you have a good protectant on it

on the plastic. It's a good idea to keep the leather conditioned, but I don't think it would affect glass haze.

1 use an auto glass cleaner... it will help alot w/ stuff like that
2 use news paper when cleaning them it will leave ur windows streak free and haze free.
