The Stoners tool works great, so does having a grand kid or neighbors young one to "wad up" in the rear seat and get to cleaning. Lucky that we have a "smaller" employee that can get into tight places to clean.

It helps if you actually drive your car instead of spending all day cleaning and taking pictures of it lol.

It's not dirt, but that film that builds up on the inside of the windows...I think it comes from all the plastics...mine sits in the garage a lot and with the temps lately, it's been around 110 or more in there...I am sure a lot of stuff is coming off all that plastic....by the way just broke 2,000 miles this last week....

Yeah, I figure I might get to 3500 before I put it away this fall....I put 480 or so on before I put it away last November and have put on about 1600 since I took it out in March.

I use something like that and I am always amazed how well it works.

I have found that using Hand Sanitizer on glass is the very best. Use it on my computer screens, ipad, mirrors.... its the alcohol in it works really well and very quickly.

I am sure I am going to get a few comments like don't be licking the glass etc..lol...but its the best glass cleaner I have used.

It helps if you spray his back with Windex first, then just put him up on the back shelf!
