First: Be certain you do not have antifreeze loss from the heater
core.
Get a refillable spray bottle and some distilled vinegar. Mix about
5 tablespoons vinegar / water and fill the bottle.
Get a new 10" squeegie (janitorial quality). You might also get a 6"
squeegie for the door windows.
Spray the windows and wipe vigorously with a clean damp terry towel
or wash cloth.
Respray window and squeegie clean. Wipe ONLY the excess from areas
the squeegie could not get.

Problem with Windows Fogging due to Oily Film
I have a '96 camry that overall runs great. My one problem is that
there is an oily residue on the inside of all the windows. When it
gets warm the film fogs up making it difficult to see. If I warm it up
with the defroster the fogging goes away but the oily residue remains.
When it is cold the film 'freezes'. I have tried windex, armorall
window wipes and several different types of auto glass window
cleaners. Every thing I have tried has failed to remove this film. I
have never used a product on the inside of the window that would leave
this film. Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this problem? I'm
looking for any advice. Thank you!

It sounds like antifreeze, check your coolant level.

Do you; or have you used anything such as Armorall or Eagle protectant
on the interior of your car? I don't use any of that crap EVER after I
had the same thing happen to my car about 10 years ago after a car
wash and that crap was applied to the interior vinyl..good luck i
never did get it all off.. it would bleed onto the glass everytime i'd
try to clean the glass and keep coming back...very dangerous in the
cold..rain or inclement weather as could not see out of fogging up
windows.

Armorall is for TIRES. Keep it off passenger compartment surfaces. I
do mean ALL such "protectants."

Not even all the "not even....." you care to come up with. No
exceptions.

Re: Problem with Windows Fogging due to Oily Film
For the hard surfaces .... nothing oily and nothing solvent. Soap
and water or foaming upholstery shampoo. Oh.... and do NOT shampoo
the headliner! Headliners typically are felt with a thin layer of
foam rubber over a former styrofoam shell. Shampooing will attack
the foam rubber eventually resulting in a headliner drooping down
like a poorly pitched tent.
