Clean the Rear Window ..... Really?
So I figured I'd clean the inside of the rear window of the new car. Now I know what real torture is. How in the world do you get down into the lower part and get everything clean? Not sure who designed it but they obviously don't own one. Any tricks or hints? Also, I tried Windex Ammonia and Invisible Glass and both were horrible. Anything good out there? Thanks....

It was designed that way to look stylish but forget trying to clean the inside. Hard to contort this aging body to clean it properly on the inside with those deep dish rear seats.

Oh, 2015.
Nevermind. Although my hand mitt blue shop towel, no chemicals needed, don't touch the glass with your hands, do it twice method I'm sure would work... but I dunno about a 2015 to be honest.
Sorry, wish I could delete this. My bad.

I actually use invisible glass w/rain repellant followed by a thin coat of wax (yes I was the inside part of both windshields) and when I go to buff the wax off it picks up anything left over by the glass cleaner. Leaves it spotless and shining like it rolled off the assembly line.

This works for me on my previous 12 GT,5.0, MT6 & Brembo plus my present 15 GT, 5.0, MT6 & PP.
I tried to upload a shot of the item but this site said a plug in was out of date so here is an explanation.
The cleaning wand was bought at WalMart but have seen the item at Giant Food in the cleaning section. The wand is made by Clorex and is used to clean your John. The handle is approx 18" long and at one end is a triangle shaped plastic piece that moves up and down and is tacky one one end to hold a cleaning pad.
To clean the window, I spray the window with Invisible Glass, I put a small Microfiber clothe on the tacky end of the wand and in a up and down motion, clean the window. A second clean cloth on the pad, follows up the first cleaning. Since the plastic pad is shaped with a pointed end, it normally gets all of the corners.
PS . . . Using the up and down motion inside the widow and left to right motions outside the window will let you know if you see streaks you will know if they are inside or outside. PS . . . If you wash your Microcloths, DON'T use any softener in the wash as it screws up the cleaning ability .
FWIW

Actually, my detail crew here at the dealership uses newspaper on the inside glass too. It really does work well due to the fiber content of the paper.
