I've had my 2010 Fit for about 2 weeks now, I don't drive it to work but came home today, I'd say its an unusually damp and muggy day, it was hot, and it did rain a little. To notice inside condensation on the corners of the front windows and front quarter windows only.. I did Armor All the whole interior yesterday and thinking that might have caused some moisture in the car from the heat and humidity, surely it's not caused by a leak I'd hope not but looked the whole car over and didn't notice anything. I just don't usually see that kinda thing. If anything shouldn't the moisture or condensation be on the outside of a sealed car? Could this cause damage to my interior over time?

 

I'm not sure if the armorall is causing the problem or not! I would not use armorall at all! I use "303 aerospace"! It offers uv protection,non greasy surface,and it creates a satin like shine that doesn't give off glare from the sun! If the armorall is not the problem take it back to the dealer and let them solve the problem and fix it if it's something covered under warranty!

 

Sure you're seeing condensation, nothing to do w/ armour-all. I agree w/ ej96hatch and avoid the stuff. Out gassing is the issue. It will deposit as an even film on the glass.

I simply use a light soapy water solution in a wrung out micro-fiber for all interior detail cleaning. Good ammonia free glass cleaner on the glass.

 

Nope, that has nothing to do with Armor All original protectant at all. I use it, haven't had problems with any of my interior plastics.

Do note that the bottle says you should avoid spraying it on glass...that's because it's annoying to see through. Some glass cleaner should do the trick; Armor All's own glass cleaner (it's clear, not milky white like the protectant is) is fine too.

Note that condensation can form inside a car, especially on the inside windshield. If you've ever slept inside a car on a chilly night, or made out in a car with a lover, you'll know this happens. That's what the Windshield setting for your blower is for - to clear out the condensed mist that forms there. The inside of the car is warm, while the outside is cold, so the condensation forms on the inside.

 

I still get a little outgasing haze that builds up on the inside of my windshield! It has decreased over time since i've had the car! I don't know why my interior is still outgasing, maybe because my car rarely ever sits out in the sun at all!? Iv'e had my car since the middle of October 2009!

 

Characteristic of the plastics. As much as others use and praise interior spray products to clean with, I've learned to avoid them. I see a slight film forming on the interior and I'm into the fourth month of driving. First time to clean the inside windscreen.

Not sure the out gassing will ever end...

 

Type 100 make have the cause.... do you have teenagers?

With the windows it caused by moisture check your rear carpets and make sure they'er dry. There was a lot of Fit members that had the doors letting in rain and the carpets would mold over time.
I hope not but if it is catching it early will be a good thing.

 

i went to my local dollar store and got the off brand, damp rid stuff. that thing has trapped a lot of water so far. there is a thread on here about that

 

i hate armorall. should use higher quality products like PrimaNero or atleast Aerospace 303 for interior plastics.

as for condensation, make sure your a/c is on fresh-air mode.

 

I'd avoid Armorall as well. I'm also a fan of Aerospace 303 and have used it on the interior parts as well as the convertible top on my S2000. You can pick it up at any marine supply store.

 

I forgot this, thanks.

Now that my A/C is busted and I have to drive around in the rain, the windshield mists up at an alarming rate when I drive on highways. Fresh air + Windshield venting clears it out quickly
