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!

Floor Mats and Keys by TheHopper

I just purchased a 2008 Toyota Avalon XLS. It did not come with floor mats so I am hoping for some suggestions of what to get and where to buy? I was thinking of the WeatherTeck Car liner as some colleagues have raved about them. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
 
Also, the car just came with one manual (valet) key. I am hoping someone can point me to the best place to get a keyless remote for the Avalon. Not interested in paying alot as I just am looking to get in without using a key as well as locking it.
 
Thanks ...

Check Ebay motors. They usually have the factory mats available at a lower cost than the dealer. As for the remote, in '08 the Avalon went to the integrated key/remote. They may not be available on Ebay (the stand alone remotes are) and since you only have a Valet key you may need to go to the dealer for one. The valet key will not lock the glove box.
