Default C6 Windshield Cleaning

Well I've been sitting in my 2009 Coupe and just luvin' life when I realized this 62 year old body hasn't got a chance in hell of cleaning this windshield!!I've been thinking I could use double sided tape on cotton ***** and attatch them to my neighbors cat and throw him at my windshield ,but I know I'd get caught........I even bought one of those pads with the micro fibre pad on it that claims it will clean everything from your Grandfathers railroad watch lens to the Space Shuttle windows...but I don't believe it.....What I DO believe is that YOU clever dudes have figured SOMETING out sooooo I'm askg politely for the REAL best way to get the job done.....Thanks in advance

I'm a little confused (nothing new there). You didn't specify but the only problem area I'm familiar with is the tight space between the dashboard and the glass? Most auto parts stores sell small, thin 'paddle like' devices designed for just this purpose. I recall one forum member saying he used a thin, wooden paint stirring 'stick' (wrapped in a cloth at the end) to wedge into the tight space to clean the glass.

I use Invisible Glass brand cleaner. For general glass cleaning, some vendor used to sell special, reusable paper towels which worked well cleaning glass (these weren't your typical paper towels in a roll though). I'm not the most avid wash and wax guy so maybe someone else has a better idea. Good luck!

I use a paint stirring stick with a micro fiber towel wrapped at the end. i use a small amount of Invisible Glass sprayed on one side of the towel and turn the towel over for a final pass. Works great.

i have been planning on buying one of those pads with a handle that is designed for this but haven't gotten around to it.

That's very close to what I have. Picked up a two of them at the thrift store for $1. I think the ones I have were a "As Seen On TV" special at one time. They work great.

I also believe Wally-World sells something like that.

Yep, the Glassmaster Pro or something like it is the way to go.
