Fast developing window film...

[Cool_Steve]

As a detailer I should know this, but I'm puzzled. Usually you get window film/haze during the winter months due to changes in temp, moisture, recylced hot/cold air, etc. Now I have found it can also develop fast in hot weather.

Last year when I did a huge detail on the Protege it got very hot thereafter, so I rolled around with the a/c on and when the car was parked didn't crack any windows because I had just cleaned them and didn't want to get "window dirt lines". Maybe a week later, all windows but the rear had gotten a rather thick haze and I had to redo them all. :(

It happened again this year when I cleaned them a month ago. Not a huge detail, I just cleaned the insides because I haven't since October. It got really hot/humid after, but I left the windows cracked a fair bit so air could cirulate. Even so, I developed film again. Not as bad this time, it was in the corners more than the entire window.

Anyone else have this issue? Is it just chemcials in the seats/dash/vinyl evaporating when it gets really hot/humid out and hazing the windows? And I already tried a Rain-X for inside windows years ago and it didn't do shit.

my first guess would be residue from all the chemical crap in all the cleaners you use for inside the car.

Sounds about right. I had one of my old cars professionally detailed a couple years ago and the same thing happened. They used quite a bit of product inside the vehicle.

I haven't shined up my interior in two years or used any products on it since then, manily because I can't find the time to do the entire car. All I have used since then is a microfiber and air gun, no chemicals.

^I use Meguiars. I used to use armor all but that last time i used it was in 2004.

Could be mold in your HVAC system or carpet.

Carpet is clean, never damp. Could be the HVAC though, it is an old car.

Even so, I haven't used Megs in two years. Only a microfiber.

you'd be amazed how long it takes chemicals to go away

I suggest getting a bottle of mopar total clean and wipe down the interior good
