My inner windshield had become so bad with the "fog" that I had to remove it. I used this chammy wrapped around a sponge. My mom got it for me for xmas to get rid of the window condensation in the winter. Boy did it take that film right off. I know this is a problem for C5 owners because the dash has to "breathe" out chemicals. I just wanted to share this tip with the forum.

I like the Glass Master and Stoners Glass Cleaner. The wizard helps get in the cracks and crevices, especially around the HUD.

That film is actually your breath and skin particles, don't ask how I know, I just do

Windshield Haze or ‘Fog’:
The vinyl used on vehicle dashboards contain plasticizers, these low molecular weight compounds maintain semi-rigid vinyl’s flexibility. The vinyl used in modern vehicle interiors vent (out-gassing) these are the plasticizers evaporating (more prevalent on newer vehicles or a dash with freshly applied vinyl dressing) Crack open vehicle windows when parked to allow the gasses to vent.

UV and heat radiation will also cause the plasticizers to dry out, resulting in a chemical film that when combined with road oils, dirt and grease introduced via by the vehicles a/c system results in a stubborn haze or fog that forms a cohesive bond with the interior glass surfaces.

Wipe glass with a damp waffle weave towel; apply Stoners Invisible GlassTM, to 100% cotton micro fibre cloth and rub glass surface with a light to medium pressure (it will dry streak-free / lint-free) If after cleaning there is still a persistent ‘fog / haze’ pour some Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) on to a clean dry cloth and agitate surface film.

Stoner's IG and a Glassmaster are invaluable for cleaning interior glass surfacess

FWIW: I didn't know that skin particles and your breath made a negative contribution to glass fogging...
