Just an fyi, I bought one of those glass wizard window cleaners the other day because cleaning the haze off the inside the back window is tough. let me tell you, that thing works great. if you guys have trouble cleaning that back window, I think you would appreciate it. i bought mine at a local general store, probably can get them anywhere though.

Do you have Walgreens there? K mart and that Nation wide China store might have them but I do not shop there.I have been using mine for months. Get the Rain X window cleaning fluid as it works great too with this tool.

I have a glass wizard, and love it. I ordered it from TV. I stink at cleaning my windows and this really helps. I have been using rubbing alcohol, a friend told me about it. Just put it in a spray bottle. You can clean the windows in direct sunlight.

I noticed that the add says "micro-fiber." Do you think there is any chance it could in time damage the defroster grid on the back window? :scratch:

why would microfiber damage the defrost grid? i have been using microfiber clothes for years on my vehicles. they are soft, and do a great job when cleaning.

I wonder also if it would scratch the tint? It would be nice if it didn't. That back window is a drag to clean!
