    I had the same issue it hard water that caused my issue pour some white vinegar into the dishwasher then add your detergent as usual. I had to run some of my glasses through twice to get the deposit off but I add the vinegar all the time now and it works.

    .I use a rinse-aid type of product. Cascade is 1 brand. JET-Dry is another. Your dishwasher should have a built in dispenser in addition to the soap dispenser. Fiil them prior to washing. My glassware is always clear.

    If the film doesn't come off with vinegar, your glasses may be permanently etched with little scratches. In some parts of the country, softened water combined with dishwasher detergents that contain phosphates can cause etching. If you have softened water, use less detergent than the recommended amount and remove glasses immediately after the wash cycle to avoid the high heat of drying, which can accelerate the etching. Or use a low- or no-phosphate detergent.

    You need to be using Jet Dry. It will remove the cloudiness. Be careful not to over use dish washer detergent. It can etch glassware.
