Window Fog/Haze - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Well ever since I've had my car, there's this weird haze that covers the inside of my windows and it makes up look all fogged up and damn ugly. I've tried water/vinegar, straight vinegar and a lot of window cleaners and its really tough to remove.  The worst part is that when it finally looks like its gone, it comes back a few days later.... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hmmm.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hmmm:'> Any help is appreciated. It sucks being blinded at night when headlights hit the haze! Thanks in advance! This isn't too technical to I just put it here. Sorry if I'm in the wrong place.

You may want to try and clean all the plastic surfaces i the car.  PVC in the dash, etc.  Will cause this haze to form.  Trying cleaning the dash before you do the windows and see if that helps.

Anything related to your 240 please keep in the 240 Chat section. Thanks!

Cool thanks for the help.  I've been using armor all on most of it so maybe that may be a problem, cause I don't think they were fogged before I used that.  What would you suggest to clean it with? I'll try wiping it all down tonight. Thanks again! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':thumbsup:'>

Instead of using Armor All, try using Mother's Preserves protectant.  Not only will it not give you the fog/haze effect (if that was caused by the AA) but it won't crack your dask/plastic like armor all is known to do.

Are you a smoker, and if so, do you smoke in your car? (If you do I will personally come over and smack you over the head! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='

Cigarette smoke is known to create a layer of crap on the inside of windows if you smoke in the car... other than that, "What ^they^ said".
