Question cleaning the inside of the windshield

just got my 2k formula ta a few weeks ago and the idiots who cleaned the car at the car lot got armor-all all over the glass I've been trying and trying but I just can't get it clean... it's extremely hard to even contort my body into place to reach the glass...

how does everyone else do it?

I was told that rubbing alcohol will remove armor all, but that was a question on removing it on a dash. But it may help on removing it from glass, not an expert though.

I usually spray the glass cleaner on the windshield, then take either paper towels or a small cloth and pin it up against the windsheild with the back of my hand. Doing that, you should be able to reach all the way to the bottom of the windshield.

I bought some " Haze-Free " glass cleaner, and a special wand from Autosport catalog
I used to have a film on my glass that no matter how hard I tried or how many times I cleaned it, it was always there..
This stuff works.
they have a web site check it out.

That's my technique too, sitting sideways with my legs out the door. lol

I just stand in the trunk well, then sit on the hump. Good thing I don't have a sub box or amp rack. I'm sure people driving by think I'm an idiot, but it works.

Damn people, how about a micro fiber towel? That is by far the easiest way to clean the front/back/outside whatever window you want. I also use Glass Plus with the towels, one to wipe up the excess the other to finish the job. On the front I just stand to the side of the car with the door open and reach across then switch sides, on the rear the same thing. I hold the hatch kinda closed and just reach across it from each side. Hope that helps.

Jump in the rear of the car to get the hatch.

Use a polish on the inside of the windows for gunk stuck to the glass.
