I have some of these cloths and they work ok. What I have found that works better is to use a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on the inside of the glass to remove that film that builds up. Once I'm done with that, then use the glass cleaner of your choice with a microfiber towel designed for glass and you'll have a nice clean inside windshield.

Yeah, I would never use one on a car, in fact I never use them at all.
most of the issue with interior glass is the outgassing of the materials in the cars interior, that is the haze that builds up on the glass that you are fighting especially when the car is newer and or is out in the sun.
Secondarily, when you use a surfactant to break down that buildup, it can also pull residue out of your cleaning cloth.
Best combo is to use a light surfactant, I use a REALLY mild warm water/dawn solution, and then finish wipe with a clean microfiber that has been washed in hot water and a small amount of oxi clean wrung out with DI water. You should only have to do this once a month or so and the rest of the time can just use a clean microfiber and DI water. Distilled works as well.
I would add if you have a ceramic coat or even a good wax on the car, wiping it down with damp micros wrung out in DI water is all you have to use... thats all thats in those detailing sprays.

Forgot I had this, used it on both my previous Camaro's, makes cleaning the inside of the windshield really easy, especially those really long and raked windshields that are tough to reach on the inside. Its not cheap and I have seen cheaper ones on Amazon, but the magnets on this think are very strong. Makes cleaning the inside of the windshield so easy.

I bought the Windshield Wow. I didn't have high expectations. After I used it I said this is the best car care product I have bought in a while. No more standing on my head. I have used the cloths mentioned in the post and they work well, but my shoulders don't like all the contortions need to get to all of the windshield.

It works very well, so much easier to clean the inside of windows. The 6th gen Camaro rear window is almost impossible to clean, you have to be a contortionist to get in the back seat unless you are really short. With this tool it was a breeze to clean it. Can't believe I forgot I had it.

Finally got around to using these. They were so good I had to post here. My one word review: Wow! Essentially just a once over every inch gets the job done. No more neck/shoulder/back discomfort from all the bending and twisting. Highly recommend these.
