Yes I am using a similar devise to clean the inside of the windshield....it is still an awkward affair but does an ok job. Honestly I have not been completely satisfied with the results yet and have watched many YouTubes on it. Out of spec detailing is the most thorough

I'm using a pole similar to everyone else along with sprayaway but I get streaks everytime. idk what I'm doing wrong lol. Should I be trying to spray the glass first and not the cloth? Do I need to dry immediately after each line? Am I using too much spray? idk what I'm doing but it bothers my ocd lmao. This is just the interior side. Exterior the carwash works fine.

For our long interior windshield cleaning ...
I ended up buying two Swiffers that I keep in the frunk... one that nicely holds a paper towel with those 4 little grabbers on the backside .... and the other Swiffer similarly holds onto a yellow Costco microfiber towel cut to size.

A quart spray bottle of water with around 4-5 drops of Dawn seems to be just enough to break down the new car gassing 'fog' that accumulates on the inside of our windows. I use the damp paper towel Swiffer to start ... with a final buff from the dry micro towel equipped Swiffer. Your mileage on the number of Dawn drops may vary with your water, but not too many to avoid streaking residue. No clear water wipe is necessary if not too many Dawn drops are used.

Got this idea from someone else on the forum: bought a Swiffer (that has a handle that separates into smaller pieces), then attach a microfiber towel to it. Use Sprayway (ammonia free) on the inside of the windshied.

I've never cleaned the exterior by hand (other than the car wash).

Sounds like Larry is referring to the same Swiffer product I linked to above.
