Anyone found a good product or method for cleaning the black underside of the hach that doesn't smear?

What do you do to get the underside of your hatch dirty enough to need more than an occasional wipe with a damp cloth?

Damp cloth when I mop out all the water after I wash it.

If you're talking about the glass, make sure you're using a microfiber towel that's clean and hasn't been dried with a fabric softener. Having clean towels is always the key to clean glass.

Don't use Windex. Get a glass cleaner that's made for cars. I like Invisible Glass - which you can pick up almost anywhere.

I also always do windows twice. Once to get it clean, once to get rid of the streaks.

Primarily water spots and dust. A damp cloth doesn't remove the water spots.

I have same problem and also had a thread on this. Feedback did not correct anything and still have the water spots. I'm going to discuss with dealer this coming Thursday. I will monitor your thread to see if anyone comers up with a fix.

Recently, there was a guy who had a whole load of bird poo under there. Yes on the underside of the hatch window.

Had the same issue with my '10 GS. Now seeing it develop on my '16. Damp cloth has never worked in six years of trying.

Thanks for asking. I've always wondered...

Try some white vinegar on those water spots...

For glass cleaning I use Stoner Invisible Glass. Best glass cleaner I have found. Do NOT use Windex!!!!!

"Underhood Spray" from www.griotsgarage.com works well and look nice without runs, etc. Some things will desolve and smear the black paint.

I found that ProtectAll (you can get this at WalMart) works great on the flat black underside of the deck lid. Spray it on a clean dry cloth, then apply it to the flat black, then wipe off with a soft flannel cloth while still wet.You may have to do the underside of the deck lid a couple of times to get the desired results.

I had the same problem. I tried interior cleaner, detailer, etc. What I found that works very well is a little WD-40 sprayed on a towel, then wipe dry. Looks like new.

True. Poor Boys interior cleaner did it to mine. A real bummer.

There's this stuff that I used to use after I got a new car and the off-gassing from the plastics would fog up the windows. Hard as hell to remove without streaking. It was simply labeled "Orange Cleaner" and was a buck at the dollar store. It made life a lot easier. But it's hard to find now. It came in an aerosol can.

Several years ago I had a Corvette where the interior gases were overwhelming. Constant cloudiness showed up on everything. I cleaned the interior, especially the Glass, every other day and it still looked like I was a heavy smoker and never ever cleaned the Glass. I ended up doing a BBB Arbitration Lemon Law and eventually won. During the proceedings GM called this problem of gases in the interior a by product on hot days of the Leathers, Plastics, Vinyl's and Glues as Vinyl Hazing. During the time I had the car I had the gasses analyzed and they said the only known possibility for a solution was to continue to wash down the interior with a 50/50 solution of Vinegar and Water until the Interior was neutralized. We never got rid of it. Hopefully today there are better products to resolve this type of problem....

Thanks Mck1214, the WD40 worked way better than anything else I've tried.

I've been a fan of the 303 Aero Protectant. They now have individual wipes that come in a dispenser. They work great!

I use windshield washer fluid. I put some in a spray bottle and use on all my automotive glass (inside & out). Stronger and works better than Windex. I like Rain-X as better quality: https://www.rainx.com/product/windsh.../#.V7c42U1TGK4
