thatryan Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Is there such a thing to aid with cleaning the front and rear (inside) windows? My arms simply do not work right or bend that way and have any strength to do anything. Stupid Muscular Dystrophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Gen9Rolla Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I'm not sure if I can post links about this, but just Google "glass cleaning tool" and you'll find a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Kingsford Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) There are some out there... I've tried several, they all are terrible. Your arm and a MF Glass Towel will be the best you'll find. I've had to bend and twist all sorts of ways (especially around my mirror) to clean windshields. Sometimes I find using a plush towel gets the jobs done if there is just a film on the inside. As long as you're not sneezing all over the place, there really shouldn't be anything other than a film on the inside.

0 TheBurninator Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Sometimes I find the waterless wash towels a bit easier to use and requiring less effort (read: strength) to use on glass. It may not completely make things easier, but it might help. scootertrash19 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Chewy Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Yard stick and an Adams glass cleaning towel. Those glass cleaning tools are chinsy at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Team Adam's Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I could never get enough leverage behind them to make good contact with the glass... not to mention the bonnets that came with them linted like crazy.

0 ssooch Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I pay my Daughter $5 to clean the inside of the back window on my 5th GEN Camaro. There is now way I can get back there I have used various "wands" but like Dillon said their bonnets are terrible and it's hard to get an even pressure on the glass. You just end up with streaks.

0 thatryan Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 Yeah I was hoping to find (or make) something that I could attach the Adam's cleaning towel to.

0 Rich Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 There's one on the market that's sort of a triangle on a stick with a microfiber cover and a soft glass polishing cover. I bought it at Carlisle several years ago. They make it look so easy and to look like it answers all your prayers getting into those corners and back windows. Took it home, tried it, and guess what? Yes it reaches into the corners but it streaks the crap out of the windows. Smeary, streaky windows. It's been sitting in the cupboard for 2 or 3 years now. It's a pain in the rear to try and reach all those places but that's what I make my wife do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on the bonnets. If you could affix one of your glass towels to it then it might work ok. But the plastic construction is no bueno either, needs to be an aluminum handle lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 thatryan Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 You know, while we are on the glass subject ha, how do you all clean your side windows? The go-up-and-down ones... Always have a strip of guck when I finally roll them down, but trying to roll them down and clean at detail time they just get water streaks. Do you wait? Blast dry? Whatcha do there?

Before washing, lower the windows a little and clean off that top strip of dirt. Then go ahead and wash (windows back up of course) and then after you dry, you can clean the rest of the glass.

0 Ricky Bobby Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 ^^ this. Get the top strip of gunk first. Clean the channel too with an mf towel. Then close windows and go about business as usual Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Ryans09G8 Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I use an Adam's single-soft wrapped around a sturdy-handled spatula. Works flawlessly at getting the far down interior part of the windshield and rear window in my G8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
