Most window cleaner will leave a film on the glass which causing fogging. Try using car wax on the inside of the windshield and that should clean it up and make it not fog up any more. Works great for me. Just don't do the outside or the windshield will streak when you use your wipers.

While wax is an option there are some better products out there to use. The first step is actually cleaning the glass, windex isn't the greatest either. There are several good cleaners Id use and some have antifog chemicals in them. Just look around on google for some top rated.

I also like Invisible Glass Cleaner as it's what I use but I prefer microfiber towels. Some paper towels can cause streaks, in my experience.

I'm not sure about wax because if the refractive index isn't the same as the glass you'll get distortion or reflections. It could be as bad as you currently have.

If you dont want to go through paper toweling like crazy... newspaper usually works well too with a good glass cleaner. Just be careful on tint, newspaper and paper towel is pretty abrasive.

The reason new vehicles have an issue with "foggyness" on the inside has nothing to do with cleanliness. Your plastic in the dash board goes through a process of aging where it releases gases from the plastics. Kind if like how brand new tires have a smell to them but old ones dont.

That is the actual "new car smell" its all the plastics gasification process. It the gets all over your windshield.

It will mostlikly be a problem for a few years

mix 3 parts together for perfect clean windows.

33% part distilled water
33% Isopropyl alcohol
33% White Vinegar <--- they make cleaning vinegar

This will be crystal clear, does not streak, does not leave a film that you can see at night or in the early am. Also will not hurt tint.

My wife has a bunch of these Norwex cleaning cloths. The window cloth is amazing and will leave your glass spotless. No kidding.

Use a good quality professional grade glass cleaning product. I like Adam's Glass Cleaner, and Griot's Garage glass cleaner. I use that along with a claybar. Takes the film/buildup right off. Be sure to use good quality glass rags as well. Adam's or some other reputable brand.

vinegar/windshield wash mix.....
Remember to when the inside of a car/truck ect gets warm or hot the plastics in the interior also give off a residue to and that looks like the inside of a smokers windshield..

I can walk away from my pick up when i go on the road for a week to ten days and come home to a dirty windshield...Even worse when i put that silver sun reflector in the windshield..

I clean my windows in the early morning or late evening when the sun is coming up or down and face my truck towards it. This is so the glass is cool and I use the sun to show any streaks, I use Clear Glass by Stoner, good stuff been using it for years.
