Default Cleaning rear window

So I am a bit OCD about perfectly clean windows. Curious to know as your C8's are driven
A. does the rear window get more grime being above the engine bay
B. looks impossible to clean the inside of the window
I am maybe a year or 2 away from anew C8 but I am enjoy reading about all your experiences. My C7 was a factory order so I know the excitement about getting the notice that it was built.
Be safe

While I cannot address the C8, I can address clean windows with 32-year-old Ferrari that is driven regularly, including long trips - clean rear window not a problem - and easy to clean when it does need it. I can see no reason why the C8 should be any different.

I only have less than 200 miles on mine. Did not notice any dirt or haze build up. I did use an extended rod with a microfiber cloth at the end ,when I did my first detailing of the vehicle. Its a bit tough to reach. I believe the rod is made by 3M . Its been around for some time.
