Wondered if anybody could point me in the right direction......I've got a base C7 Stingray, which means I've got the vinyl dash among other vinyl components. While I don't have a problem with this material bubbling or visibly fading or degrading, I'm finding lots of a difficult-to-remove film on the inside windows. From my days associated with automotive engineers, this is caused by off-gassing from the vinyl materials. I'm constantly cleaning the inside windshield (a PITA with the angles making it difficult to reach the base of the inside windshield). I've used Bon Ami, Windex (ugh), Invisible Glass (the product name lies). I generally have to clean it twice with a normal cleaner then once or twice with the Invisible Glass to get it even acceptably clean.

Then, two days later, the film is there again. The car is ALWAYS garaged out of the sun unless being driven. No smoking in the vehicle. No known products introduced by me to cause the film. My D/D, a Lexus, doesn't have anything close to the same issue with the off-gassing from the vinyl dash on that vehicle.

Anybody got suggestions or recommendations on a better product(s)? I hate cleaning the inside glass constantly, and hate the film on the inside even more - especially when the rays from the sun or oncoming headlights in the evening make the film extremely noticeable.

Thanks,
