    Best product to prevent plastic dash offgassing?

    One of the most annoying things in any car I have owned has always been the plasticizers offgassing and coming out of the dash and depositing on the inside of the front glass. It is always a huge pain to get off the glass. So my two questions are: what is the best product to get it off the glass (glass cleaner doesn't seem to do it for me) and what is the best product to keep it from happening in the first place?

    Hers is my thought. I would use my clay bar and glass cleaner to breakdown buildup. Dry the window. Use a clean microfiber glass towel folded four times. Look for any remaining residue or smears from the outside.

    Tried and proven method:

    By a magic eraser (store brand is ok as they are all the same) spray it and the glass with any all purpose cleaner.

    Clean glass throughly, repeat.

    Next clean the glass with your choice of glass cleaner, repeat.

    Third and final step, spray a towel with some kind of liquid spray wax spread over the glass.

    You can do this to outside and inside glass. Just cleaning with the apc and magic eraser will result in amazing results. It’s my go to method now.

    That’s the method I’m going to have to use on persistent and annoying haze which I assume comes from the coastal air where I live.

    You will be amazed at what the apc/magic eraser will do. Wish I could take credit for the method but I found it last year on YouTube from Dallas paint correction. I can find the link and send it to you if you like.

    Thanks. I used to watch DPC but he stopped making videos. I guess he’s back on again?

    McKee’s 37 20/20 cockpit cleaner.

    Wipe the car weekly and that should be all you need.

    Didn't know he stopped? As far as I know he still is?

    I checked. He’s back on now but for a while he stopped. That’s why I stopped watching.
