If you buy some nice polarized sunglasses you will see that on almost everycar you ever see. I dont know what it is but it cannot be cleaned away its inside the glass. I think its for defrost but I have been wrong before.

The glass is hard to keep clean,especially, after you dried the glass off there is tiny water spots on the glass, and its a PITA to get out. Does anyone know how to get out water spots on the windows?

I'm having a terrible time keeping the windshield and all other interior glass surfaces free of the out-gasssing film from all the plastic used inside the Civic.

When I leave the SI out in the sun with all windows closed, I have to wipe the film away on the windshield. this film is especially noticable when driving at nite when headlights are on or when driving into the rising or setting sun.

Any suggestions on either what to do to on the interior plastic to reduce the out-gassing, or what to clean the glass with to make it easier to keep clean?
