Phil,
The film on your windshield is called plastic "gassing" where the heat from the
interior emits some sort of chemical from the dash and door panels that results
in a PITA film on the windshield.
Adding armour all and extreme heat all contribute to make the situation worse.
I recommend cleaning the surface of the dash and door panels thoroughly and use
a sunshade when parked in direct sunlight. I am sure venting the sunroof will
also help.
Limiting my car's exposure to direct sunlight has significantly reduced the film
from my black MR2 (black/black car = lotsa film)
