How to clean the inside of rear window?

Real tough to get your hand in there, I get tons of streaking. What do you use?

I use a foaming spray, clean, then wipe down with a MF cloth. Works fine.

What I mean is, I can't really give the glass a good wipe, my hand simply doesn't move that way. Are you guys contortionists?

A Microfiber towel is certainly necessary. It cleans far better than paper or terry towels.

The top three OTC glass cleaners I found are:

-Meguiar's NXT
-Eagle One 20/20
-Stoner's Invisible Glass

Be sparing with the cleaner. Use one side of the towel to spread the cleaner and work it in. Flip the towel and wipe clean.

I use Stoner's Invisible glass on my tinted windows and have for years without any ill effects. The Stoners product does not contain any harsh chemicals that can really cause any lasting damage to the tint.

It's also been my experience that a 50:50 water/vinegar solution works great on glass. Especially exterior glass that has water spots.
