Default Rear Window Cleaning

Does anyone else have a tough time cleaning the int rear window, it is so tight I can barely get my hands in there. Short of having my 10 year old cleaning it, is there a tool some of you may have that will get the job done?

Thanks, Nidan

Do not use Windex on rear window, use white vinegar, will keep the smears to a minimum, also be careful not to rub the antenna inlays out, go from left to right, not in circles.

Other tip, use Rain-X on your windshield and on the rear window, water will slide so fast off, that traveling at high speed during a rain storm, you may not even use your windshield wipers

Can I borrow someone's kid to clean my rear windshield??? Just kidding...

I also clean it with diluted white vinegar wipe the glass with coffee filter, so it won't leave lint or streak marks on the glass!

I use Stoner's Invisible Glass and a microfiber cloth w/ great success. You can usually find it at any of the national auto part stores for about $4-5. Works great.
