Oily film inside windows???
I have an odd issue with 97 XJR. There is an oily film coating the inside surface of all my windows, is worse on the front side windows but is also present on windshield and back glass. If I clean the glass it is clear for a day or two then the build up returns. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any ideas what may be causing it? Suspect it could be from the AC system but think that if was refrigerant oil from AC leak the system would be out of refrigerant by now.

I used primarily Lexol and Aero 303.
In the back of my mind I was wondering if leather or vinyl conditioners might be causing the problem....which seems entirely plausible. If so, the effect lingers on for *weeks*. Clean glass, wait a week, clean glass again, repeat, repeat, repeat. Year after year after year
I suppose a person could not use any interior conditioners at all for a few months and see if the problem goes away.
