Didn't see any thing under a search. For those of you with leather interiors. How do you keep your windows from fogging up from the leather!! Can't seem to keep my windows clean, nor from fogging up with that streaky film!! It's a pain in the arse to clean the inner windows and to keep clean!!!

I wouldn't blame your leather for the fogging. Humidity has a lot to do with it. I don't really have to "stop my windows from fogging" unless it's colder, rainy and humid-then I just use the air conditioning. Why would you think your leather is causing your windows to fog.

thats a new one, leather causing window fog. Only thing i can think of that causes it is actually the cleaner or dressing you might use on the leather. Otherwise, leather doesnt really have anything to cause your windows to fog. Heres a question for you, do you drive with your windows down regularly?

For those of you with leather interiors
It's not really a fogging more like a haze. Kinda like when your window gets really streaky. if you try to wipe it with a cloth and cleaner it just smears around. The only way I've found to remove it is to clean my windows with window cleaner and news paper!! I was told by my uncle that when leather breaths it puts out somekind of chemical fumes that cause the hazing. I forgot what he called it, but it's normal.

In the heat(direct sun), my leather typically "breathes" onto the windows. Its difficult to clean with regular window cleaner; it usually takes me twice over to clean it off fully. I have noticed there hasn't been any film on the windows in the heat since I put mcguiars leather cleaner/protectant. Just make sure to apply it while its cool and out of sun(maybe try that with your lexol first).

Bingo! And i think at auto stores there's a fluid or wipe that's called fog-off or something like that. ive never tried it but its worth a shot
