Default Rear Window

Is there some tool or trick to getting the inside of the rear window clean. Once I fight my way into the rear seat to make an attempt I cant quite get the angle needed to clean the window right.

I use a microfiber mitt, spray the back of the mitt with your choice of glass cleaner and use the back of your hand to clean the window. Otherwise it's a real pain.

Damn fine idea! I was wondering how to do that myself. And for glass cleaner, I recommend Invisible Glass. Two applications seem to be just right.

use the back of your hand, not your palm. problem solved!

i used stoners invisible glass. it doesnt have ammonia in it so it will take a little getting used to but IMO it works better than windex at getting bugs and crap off ot the windshield.

Meguiar's make an Ammonia free glass cleaner. Recomended for automotive use. Recomended for tinted windows. Mine are tinted. Couldn't have all that sunlight beating up my interior!

I bought Mothers Glass Cleaner. I only used it on the windshield and side windows. It works great. I havent cleaned the rear window with it yet. I also hate that window.

I havent tried this yet, needed to buy more, but use micro fiber towels. I just found out about these a few weeks ago when I bought MOthers Reflections line of products. They work great with Reflections. You don't need to work hard to remove the wax. I am going to use the micro fiber towels this weekend to clean my rear window.

You dam near have to be a contortionist to clean that back window.

As for what to use Stoner's Invisible Glass is number one choice followed by the Meg's NXT Glass Cleaner both are tint safe.

You guys forgot the most crucial step.
Hand microfiber cloth and cleaner to wife/girlfriend and say you get the inside.

Results may vary.

Seriously though, it is a real bastard.

Heck, I have to actually do stretching excercises just to squeeze into the freakin' BACK SEAT!
Haven't even thought about trying to clean the back window, but then I don't smoke anymore and with the tint I wouldn't notice if it was normal dirty.
