Help - Inside Window Washing Tip - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

How do you guys clean the inside of your windshield. I am disabled and I have a really hard time reaching in and cleaning the inside of the windshield. I have had both of my shoulders replaced which limits the motion and the strength in my arms. I think I do a good job, but when you back out and start to drive you can see terrible streaks all over the inside. Just wondering if any of you have a tip on an easier way to wash it without leaving streaks? Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Less cleaner and a tool like this might help - I wrap mine with a MF cloth, repositioning the cloth frequently for wiping with a clean area.

Proper window washing towels (specific use) are a must for these cars.

It really makes a difference.

Also a really good tip I got from a friend a few years back.

Go north to south on the outside and east to west on the inside. That way, if you have streaks you know if they are on the inside or outside.

I your case here's what I would do. By the way I do it myself. I go to a hand car wash place and I supply them with my own Simonize Window Cleaner micro fiber. I wash them in hot water, no soap or machine dried. I ask them to do a carefull job and I add a good tip...

CarPro Fast Glass. No cleaner, just water.

Why haven't I ever thought of that! Nice tip!

I literally had the same reaction. All those years of cleaning the windows twice if I saw a streak. Just time wasted.

I also would recommend the Stoner, Invisible Glass Reach tool as well. I suggest spraying the glass cleaner on the cleaning tool and not directly on the inside of the windshield. This eliminates the overspray of the glass cleaner on your dash.
