It wil keep coming back as it's the vinyl outgassing. Just keep wiping it off. Evantually the vinyl will dry and crack anyway...

I've tried the usual stuff (Adam's, Armorall, instant detail spray.) These all attract dust and loose hair. It may be a "static" thing, come to think of it. I just use a dry cloth once a month now.

I like Aerospace 303 Protectant for all interior surfaces (and tires too).

303 works and doesn't grease things up like armor all; however, with my 06 z06 the best thing is what the owners guide says - wipe down periodically with a wet towel - ie good old fashioned water. I do it about once a month and no haze/white stuff.

I agree. My 07 is 4.8 years old now with less than 6,000 miles. It spends the majority of time 7 feet in the air with the top up and windows closed. It takes about 2.5 months on lockdown when I notice the "haze" forming. A simple wipe down with a moistened "face" towel does the trick. It also seems that with age it is less of an issue. Good luck!
