Never doing that again
Well, I got my C-3 deliverd on Sunday. I was such a mess I took the day off today to clean the interior. Noe I really donr like cleaning the rear glass on my C-5 but man this 81 was a real PITA.

The rear window doesn't look hard to clean until you actually try to do it. Maybe longer arms would help? 
I'm not sure I ever got the far corners clean. The defroster doesn't help much either.
After you get the road grease and grime off, I think the easiest ways to clean and polish the aluminum rims are to use Mother's aluminum polish and one of their ***** that you hook on to your electric drill (it's called something like a "power Ball" or similar). Still takes a while and will need to be redone periodically, but MUCH better than doing it by hand.
