Cleaning the inside of the windshield

FishHawk · 08-05-2006, 03:02 PM

It is quite difficult to clean the interior of the windshield. Is anyone else having the same problem? The problem is trying to get to the front of the windshield which is at a difficult angle. FishHawk

"Quite difficult" doesn't describe it for me. I am not tall and I don't have gorilla-like long arms. It really takes some twisting and stretching to get that window clean and free of streaks.

I agree that it is very hard to clean the inside of the windshild. I once saw a type of long -handled sponge that twists and fits to contours and a long reach. I wish I had bought it! I am having the car's interior detailed soon and hope that they will be able to clean it better than I or my wife can. And she has long arms!

I think its a pain also. I've been wanting to try something like the swiffer sweeper on the windshield but with a shorter handel.

Yes it is. Not because of the angle but because of the size. It's hard to get it streak free. So many times I thought it was clean only to see all the streaks when driving with the sun at such an angle that I can see the marks.

Please report back with how well you think it worked...Obviouisly it'll help with the 'reach' issue, but does it clean well?

Evan,
I have been using a similar product for over a year. It really makes the cleaning of the windshield and the hatch glass a lot easier. The shape gets into the hard to reach corners and edges.

Don't go for their Haze-free glass cleaner. It is loaded with wax that really streaks the side windows.

This is the one that I bought. I got the kit;
