Re: Dust and plasticiser haze

Here's my typical low-tech answer: remove the glass, use some mechanics hand
cleaner (without any grit) on it, then rinse with warm or hot water, dry
immediately with something lint free, reinstall.

And while you're doing this, think about the stuff that gets on the inside
of your windshield, in that sealed up car you drive...hmmm, wonder what
happens when it's inhaled???
