Its outgassing from the materials inside the car. Every Toyota (and a few others) I have ever owned has done it. It is usually worse in the summer than in the winter due to the heat buildup. Search for the term "outgassing" in the 2005-2006 Avalon forums, it was discussed before.

My '07 Limited did this also for about the first 90 days. Most of them do it. The answer was posted here in one of these forums by several members. Yes, it goes away by itself, this "outgassing" of chemicals... makes ya' wonder how much of this stuff we breathe...

Fin,
 
My '06 Avalon still does it to this day. Not as bad, but there is always a film on the interior windows a few days after cleaning,

Some (most..??) of the chemicals you "clean/polish" with have outgassing substances of their own.

I got my wife a new Avalon for her bday. It was nice and all and at the same time i also wanted to keep it clean for her. So I purchased a car cover from carscover.com to keep her car clean but she's telling me that it will scratch her paint. Will it really damage her paint????

Shouldn't be a problem...but what about when she is driving? I highly recommend a clear bra system, such as 3M paint protection film. I had it professionally applied to my 2008 Limited immediately and have been very, very pleased.

Hole-In-One! Won a 2008 Toyota Avalon XL!!! by flygirl2

Yep, I was playing in a "Rally for a Cure" breast cancer awareness golf tournament and the 2nd to the last hole was a par 3 144 yard hole! The first hole in one on that hole won the car and I did it!! And to top it off the car I had was a 2000 Dodge Intrepid with 160,000 miles on it. I also have a Yamaha Scooter for around town. The day before I won the Avalon my husband was online and found out my $2500 scooter was worth more than the Intrepid so I really needed this car! I would never have spent the money for a new car, let alone an Avalon! It is beautiful and drives like a dream! I love it!

Well congratulations! And I'm sure you'll enjoy the Avalon.
