Default Tips for cleaning targa glass inside?

Hey guys,

what do you use to clean the inside of the targa rear window, I find it very difficult to do a good job and it gets quite dusty in there.

cheers

Invisible Glass is a great glass cleaner. Waffle MF towel and IG gets the job done well. Also safe for tinted windows.

Product aside, I find the only way to get the proper leverage and really clean the glass is to partially retract the glass dome, and then climb inside. Yep, it’s nutty, but at least you can then access the entire surface area.

Unless of course you are a circus performer and can bend your body in such a way to reach the entire area from outside the car. No disrespect intended to circus performers.

Haven't cleaned a targa rear window myself, but I find that one of these bad boys helps that kind of situation immensely. Cheap on amazon or your local parts store, just search "interior windshield cleaner"

Windshield Wow. I use it to clean the inside of my rear glass on my GT3 with a cage. The newer finishing pads do a great job of eliminating the pesky haze that builds up on inside glass (off gassing from plastics and products you use for cleaning).

Similar to the magnetic glass cleaner I use on my fish tank. Maybe I'll give the fish tank magnetic cleaner a try on the car, with a thin microfiber over the cleaning surface.

How flexible are the paddles? The curves in the glass might cause challenges if the paddles are too rigid.

Indeed, and a bit more involved of a process. I was wondering how you were going to deal with the fluid drying before you could get a dry cloth on it to wipe it up.
