Hazy film on windows/windshield

[Petrolnut]

i'm driving a '92 Sunny and has faced the above problem since i got the car 2 months back.

 

The film can only be wiped off using glass cleaner but it will come back after a few days. Has anyone faced the same problem ?

Hi Petrolnut.

 

Nope, I dun have this problem.. You might want to join us during our regular meetup on Friday and maybe some brothers here can help to 'look' at the problem.

Could it be place where you park near to some factory that release some kind of chemical??

It could be the vaporization of vinyl dressing used on your dashboard. I have the same experience and just have to clean the inside of the windscreen every week when I wash my car

Do you park your car exposed to the hot sun?

[Petrolnut]

no, there's no chemical plant nearby...

[Petrolnut]

that was wat i thought in the first place, but has since got rid of the dressing...problem still there...

[Petrolnut]

yes, i park my car in the open, both at home & at work...

Then i think its becos of the interior plastic in the car getting melted, and the moisture in your plastic evaporating and condensing on your windscreen.

Saw this in a documentary sometime back.

 

Try and experiment.

 

If you park under the shade, you will not get this.

Park in the sun and you will get it.

Evidence is that your gear knob, and steering wheel feels very oily and smooth, like someone applied moisturiser to it
