Windshield Cleaning
What do you use for cleaning your windshield specially down by the dashboard area? It seems pretty tight in that area .

I use a wooden paint stick with a micro-fiber towel wrapped around it - I'm cheap and it works.
Guess I have FAT hands as I can't down to the base and getting around the HUD is sheer PITA.

I been using a "Zap Cloth". Wet it and wring it out. Hard to believe but it works.

But I also use Golden Shine Clean & Clear glass cleaner sold by California Car Cover. I slightly moisten the micro fiber cloth in tight areas. It never streaks.

I would not use newspaper on the inside of tinted windows.
And only ammonia free cleaner can be used.
A microfiber towel can do both the outside and inside.

I use a two foot long thin metal ruler that I stick inside my cleaning cloth to get the tight area at the bottom of the windshield, works just perfect for me.

I use the invisible glass tool above, however often I notice a sparkly glistening on my windshield. I used to think it was quick wax overspray but now I'm thinking it might be on the inside.
I hate cleaning windows.

For a long time I was too cheap to get one of these.
What was I thinkin'?
This makes it so easy it should be a required purchase.
