I have this glass cleaning "trowel" but it's too short, so I use a floor swiffer with a microfiber (generic from CostCo) and a "foaming" organic equivalent of Windex. Either spray the windex onto the mop/swiffer/microfiber, or reach in and spray onto the glass directly, giving it a bit of a chanced to cut into the evaporated plastic that's condensed and adhered to the glass ... yes, the cabin air is thick with atomized plastic, which we breath in and it stays in our lungs ... that's why we croak at 90 instead of 180 ... like an old race engine with bad valves.

Not cheap but I use kids.
My two kids make good pocket money at the track. The boy is still small enough to fit in the back of caged cars and the girl directs him from the outside so they get the glass nice and clean. She is all cute and sweet and can con bucks out of the drovers almost at will.
I showed them some good methods to do it. Clean microfiber for plastic, shoes off while crawling around in the car, don't bump or step on stuff, nothing that can scratch the paint and the like.
The little punks tried to charge me once. I let them know the walk home from the track was a long one and they might want to work out some barter.

And when they get older, they can have a car washing service at the track; our younger son and his buddy did this for a few years as a fund raiser, but most drivers were generous with their tips.
Good experience for the kids, got them close to the race cars and familiar with the club. Made some good money for the charity, too.
I should have suggested that they find a small person to do the interiors.
