Gotta get a Glassmaster.
What I've been doing is just wrapping a MF towel around my hand and sitting in the car and reaching forward to clean the inside glass. That tool looks like it would make the job much easier.

Here's the link to the Glass Master Pro

The glass master is THE tool we need to reach the hard to reach spots of the windshield, But I also found to leave a streak free glass surface I use a waffle weave microfiber towel on it and I'm FINALLY happy with the crystal clear, streak free glass in my Vette. This and clay bar keeps my windows in great shape without a hassle.

Yup, I bought a pair of them at Bed Bath and Beyond. I think they were 12.00 each. Look inside the box and make sure it hasn't been used before, and make sure everything is there. Ask me how I know this. David

I've been struggling with that for ages. I just checked and the Glassmaster is available in England. Just ordered one

Thanks for the tip

Glassmaster is a great product and it works very well, especially in those hard to get places.

I clean my windshield with Stoners glass cleaner using a microfiber cloth meant for glass. Once it's dry, I go over it with Adams Detail Spray and a polishing towel. Can you say Crystal Clear!!...
