Truly high maintenance windows with leather?

I have a new TL, and find myself washing the interior windows every other day it seems! Even this time of year, when I'm not running anything 'climate control', the interior of all the windows 'haze up'. I'm guessing that the leather treatment is in fact the cause, and this maintenance procedure is inheirant to any leather interior? Should I back off on the quarterly treatment of the leather interior? Or, am I overlooking some unforseen problem like a leaking heater coil? (I never smell any anti-freeze or engine fluid smells, I don't smoke and have a great 'sniffer') No wet spots on the interior. Just a quickly reoccuring haze on the interior windows. I am using the well known brand of glass wipes, and they remedy the problem for a day or two. I'm using the leather treatment sold by my Acura dealer. Any comments?

Try using Stoner Invisiglass, it works great and leaves no haze. I've used it once on the interior side of the windshield and I don't notice any haze bulid up even after I use defrost.

A couple of thoughts: It may be off-gassing of the interior vinyl materials, or maybe your ACC air supply control is set to "recirc" rather than the fresh air mode.

Yep, not the leather but all those fine synthetics in the car.

I just purchased some waffle-textured micro fiber towels specifically for windows and they work great. No film on the inside and they remove Rain-x haze easily!
