Is there an easy and effective way to deal with the cloudy film that seems to collect on the inside of front and rear windows. I don't smoke and for some reason, no matter what I use, I can't seen to clean these areas without being left with streaks and a sore back.

I like to use my water blade to clean the inside of my glass. I take a rag and soke it in washer fluid then I srub the window and dry it w/ the water blade, any drops left over are picked up w/ a dry towel.
Sorry I dont know what to do about your back, Oh yea the film is as gas like substance given off by the vynal in your car, there is no way to stop that.

Probably the number one thing that works for dealing with the window film is getting a quality window cleaner. The stuff at parts stores that's specially formulated for auto-glass is what you want. I use the armor-all stuff, there's some other similar stuff I haven't tried, but it works much better than household glass cleaners (like windex). I believe they're alcohol (propylene glycol) based, instead of ammonia-based, but whatever it is, it works much better at getting rid of that vinyl out-gassing.

Don't laugh but vinegar is quite effective as well.Bear

That film may be emanating from the interior plastic. Use a quality window cleaner, I like Wurth available at www.carcareonline.com, use gloves and don't enhale it
A good wipe rag, I like 100% cotton diapers available at Target, don't use them on paint or wood trim.
Use lots of muscle at wiping the cleaner and haze off the window.

I use 50/50 mix of rubbing alcohol an water. To dry use newspaper. Or try 50/50 mix of vinegar and water 12 0unces total with 1 tbsn of baking soda mixed in again newspaper.
