Default How to clean the inside of an F-body windshield

I can not master this, as I clean I am not getting a consistant wipe thus smears like crazy, then you drive in some intense light it looks even worse. What do you do to clean the inside of your windshield? Thanks

not sure what you are using, and i am no expert <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> but i used some armourall window wipes today for the first time and they seemed to work great <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> i have had the same problem with smearing but these little things did the trick.

You have to have two elbows on one arm to reach the bottom part. hehe...J/K

I use windex to clean all the grime with one towel, then I will do one of two things.

I will either windex it again with a clean towel and then take ANOTHER fresh towel and "buff" the window with this dry towel.
Or, I will just buff it out after 1 windexing with a clean, dry towel.

I always get SOME streaks somewhere and on dark tinted windows, like mine, it looks bad in the sunlight. If you windex the windows (or whatever glass cleaner) get into some bright sunlight (like when the sun sets) so you can see the schmears. Once you see them, have the dry towel handy and use some good elbow grease to buff the streakies out.
Try it...it works

After you clean the window(s) with windex, buff them with a clean dry cloth to remove the streaks

Great advice guys, I will have to try them. I have one more questions, how do you clean the deepest part of the windshield, like where the glass and the dash meet? Thanks.

STRETCH!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> Actually this will sound dumb, but try one of those cotton, work gloves you can get at Home Depot, and use the glove as the towel, they are pretty soft.
