    Whenever I clean the interior windows of my truck, they appear to be completely streak free.. but upon the first moisture in the air, they still have a light haze to them.

    Any products that I can use that avoid the need to have to "polish off" the residue after it's dried?

    Any ideas on how to avoid this?

    Give them a good polish with a mirco fiber towel made for windows, and use some clay bar on them to get the surface clean of reside next time you clean them.

    I use RainX window spray. Takes a little bit of elbow grease with a clean microfiber towel to remove the residue once dry, but it remains streak free and repels dirt/water pretty well in my experience.

    I have a pet peeve about a dirty windshield, I probably clean it damn near every day.

    Just don't use Windex (that has ammonia) with tinted windows if you have them.
