Back glass is a B to clean

I can't even get half of the back glass clean as i can't get my hand that far down. Same for the drivers side front glass with the hump in the way. Glass keeps fogging up due to new plastic gassing off.

Try wrapping a cleaning cloth or newspaper around the flat end of a cooking spatula.

I couldn't reach the rear glass either so I bought a AstroAI Car Window Cleaner, with Reusable and Washable Microfiber Pads, Windshield Cleaning Wand Tool thru Amazon

Gizmos like this are pretty common now and work well. I’ve had mine for a few years.

When I got my SS the sales lady taped my temp registration paper to the back window. When I got home I put my plates on & peeled off the paper. A couple small pieces of tape were left on the glass. They were still there 2 yrs later when I traded it in!

I bought one of these and it works great, both the head and handle have swivel points so you can get right to the edge

Heads are velcro attached and machine washable

I use one of the reach and clean tools as well. Instead of glass cleaner, I use P-40 detail spray from Chemical Guys. Seams to work really well and does not streak after you lightly buff it off. Leaves a light wax coating behind that seams to reduce fogging and makes it easier to clean next time. I'm sure everyone has their unique tricks but this works really well for me.

A “dog bone” sponge will work also. I have better luck with dog bone sponges than the wands. I like Kleen Strip Heavy Duty Glass Cleaner and Meguiar’s Streak Free Glass Cleaner.

*I have a mobile detailing business and clean windows every day.
