    If ya'll have ever fallen into and then tried to climb out of that era F-body, in a strange way, it makes some sense, especially as I/we grow older!

    I remember driving a friend's Camaro once back when that body style first came out, and repeatedly banging my forehead on the idiotic windshield trying to see over the fenders while parking. It took three or four hits before the futility of conscientious parking sunk in. So, if you ever see one parked way out away from other cars in a lot, that's why.

    Try cleaning the inside of one of those windshields. Stretch Armstrong even b!tched about it.

    Heck, I have trouble doing some of the lower reaches of Mrs. H's CR-V's windshield.
    I am certain that my age has nothing to do with this at all.

    I have used those before. They do actually work pretty good.

    I’ve been using one of these exclusively for interior vehicle glas for a couple years. Make a job I use to hate somewhat tolerable.

    Is it really streak free? Do you use a cleaner with them? I agree with everyone else, interior windshield cleaning has to be the most awkward job in vehicle cleaning.

    I've just wound up going with a sponge and light soapy water, then a couple of rinses, and finish with a 6" rubber squeegee.

    Last step is a fresh microfiber towel to catch any leftovers as well as the edges and areas I couldn't get to with the squeegee.

    While this makes it much easier and faster, it's not without its drawbacks. Need to be mindful of any paper backed windshield stickers, for example. Dab, not wipe.

    Cleanest and easiest I've come up with so far, but only for easing the wiping. Angles are still awkward.

    Sprayway glass cleaner. Use it with rags, not paper towels.

    As I age, I can't contort like I use to. With arm extended my wrist can't take too much pressure. I find it easier to use the tool. I use a foaming window cleaner and get good results. You have to wash the pads from time to time. I use a microfiber soap with hand wash and air dry. You can damage microfiber with too much heat.

    If the microfiber gets soaked remove it and use a small square microfiber towel over the pad.

    Getting rid of the cloudiness on the inside of windshields is definitely one of the most annoying parts of cleaning an interior. I used to wipe multiple times with a microfiber cloth and Sprayaway and it would still be cloudy in some areas. I read somewhere to try a magic eraser. I tried it with the Sprayaway and it definitely did a better job than the microfiber cloth, though it makes an awful noise.

    Yes, it is streak free. I use the Costco/Sam’s club aerosol spray window cleaner. I will never go back…;-)

    You guys actually clean your windshields?? I don't believe I've ever done that on either of my current 4 wheel vehicles. Maybe that's why I can't see the road at night.

    One Yorkshireman: Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing 'Hallelujah.'
    Another Yorkshireman: But you try and tell the young people today that... and they won't believe ya'.
    Four Yorkshiremen: Nope, nope.*
