Access is up to you but I find that using an old piece of newspaper to dry down the glass is the only way I have found to get it streak free. Just ball up a piece and dry it down. Don't laugh until you try it. I place a piece of newpaper between the "trianlge wedgee" and the glass to get to the area right at the dash pad ....

I've never had a problem with the rear glass, but the windshields no fun. I got the mentioned triangular microfiber tool from Autogeek, and while looking like a good idea, the edges of the fiber mitt easily got cut up. I don't use it any more, and just stick with some invisible glass cleaner and old cotton t-shirt.

I used to be able to do the glass and it was easy. The last several years I have found that once a micro fiber towel is used I cant get good results after the towel has been washed. Nowadays I start the new towels on the glass and when dirtied then they go into the wash and dry bucket. And yes I always wash my car towels separately,,,

odd isn't? Works like a charm. I use one similar to this one. Local stores carry 2 or 3 different versions.

Do you guys know I'm chuckling at the visions I have of you big tall drinks of water climbing into that hatch?
I'm 5'7" so pretty easy for me. Made me smile first thing this morning.

I do the rear 2/3 of the glass standing at the rear while backing in and looking up, and the front area standing at the sides. I'm 6 ft. and very senior. Use the cleaner of your choice, new mf towels and go over it twice for better results.

Do you use fabric softener in the wash or dryer sheets - it will make the towels car wash unfriendly. I also program the wash for a 2nd rinse cycle.

That thing is almost a must for the front.

I found the easiest way to clean the inside of that window is to use my 5'6", 115# boss - she gets inside with ease. Of course I have to make an appointment. Newspaper and water does it everytime.
