That haze comes from moisture in the air and debris/dust/dead skin floating around in your car.

It happens to all cars so you just gotta clean it. I just keep a microfiber cloth in my car that I wipe the dash and windows down when i'm sitting at stop lights.

Wipe it with a microfiber every so often.

clean your glass with a microfiber (I like sprayway glass cleaner). After doing them all, going back over the glass with a dry microfiber to buff it. Like you would a coat of wax that has hazed up. I find basically every glass cleaner will leave some streaks or a haze like you described. So a dry buff helps to finish it off

The newer the car is the more common it is. A lot of it is caused by the gases (fumes) coming from the various chemicals and glues in the assembly of the automobile. But it will never completely go away.

Vinyl fog on the inside? plastic interior pieces "gas off" and it leaves a film residue on the glass. Like they said above, cleaner (Invisible Glass for me) and a microfiber towel, and buff.

I have it on the rear glass especially over the third brake light. Invisible Glass cleaned it up for me but I almost broke my leg getting in and out of the back seat looking backwards.
