Cleaning inside of windshield
today I tried a new way to clean the haze off of the inside of the windshield. Used dry disposable coffe filters instead of cloths, cleaners etc. and they did a fantastic job. I wiped off windshield with one and went back over it with a second one. No streaks and no haze. Cost- 200 filters about $1.25!
I had a horrible time getting what ever opaque film was on the inside of mine. Some said off gassing from new plastics etc. I don't know but what finally got it cleaned was distilled white vinegar and a cotton sock turned inside out. The added bonus was the inside smelled like pickled bologna for a day!
Adhesives that hold your truck's interior together release gasses that cause this film (and that lovely new car smell)...but it is somewhat toxic, and why I crack my windows for the first year on new vehicles when starting. Exhaust gasses are another cause of film on the windshield, but those are typically on older vehicles or ones with modded exhausts.
Invisible glass and some cheap foam shaving cream is all you need for interior glass perfection.

Personally, I keep mine sealed up to prevent bugs, dust, and leaf blower debris from entering the vehicle.
Great point. Newspaper and coffee filters, with vinegar, have been a long used staple when wanting to clean something like glass or metal. Both are lint free and cheap. The coffee filters are a staple in many that work in the restaurant business as they are always readily available.
Anyone use the Rain-X stuff that you can put in the inside of the windshield to prevent fogging etc. I have used the exterior Rain-X product before, but noticed the interior product a few days ago while at AutoZone. With the cooler weather around the corner, I was wondering if this stuff did any good.
