Question How do you clean the inside of the windsheld?

I have a 2003 Acura TL and Im having trouble cleaning my inside windsheild real good, it is very hard to try to apply pressure cuz there is no room too. and i cannot reach all the spots on the windsheild.

Any tips?

Tried it out this week-end. MUCH better than trying to clean inside front and rear windsheilds by hand. You can get a pretty good amount of leverage and don't have to get all contorted to reach the lower corners. I had given up on even cleaning the inside rear windshield. This is a big help.

Tip: After cleaning, do a "dry" pass with a clean MF hung over the tool.

buy that item from Patrick, I have it and it works as advertised, made cleaning the windshield as well as the rear window a piece of cake.

Another great buy from EXCEL DETAIL!!! thanks Patrick

I utilize napkins from the gas stations or from public restrooms. It's a napkin that doesn't have much lint. I dampen one napkin and have one that is dry. I try to make sure that I don't soak then wring the napkin because there is just too much water. (too much water = more wiping)

I wipe a small area with the damp napkin and go over the same area with the dry napkin.

As for the corners and near the dash, I position myself like I am leaning in the car to get something from the center console, place my palm on the window with the napkin and wipe using the tips of my finger. Usually I have one hand on the seat or center console for support.

The paper & water is free! Hope it helps

That's pretty much a rip off of other systems, LoL. However, I'm pretty certain it will work. I actually have the Stoner's version.

Yeah it's definitely do-able Dale. However, I managed to poke a hole in one of my MF bonnets at the front tip. It seems after heavy use the pressure just gives in and pokes a hole through the bonnet.

I also have the Stoner's version and I like the fact it's pointed to get into the corners. Gives great reach. You can get them at Walmart too.
