Default How to clean rear glass

Hi all,
I just crawled around in my rear seat trying to clean the film off the inside of the rear glass. I am not as flexible as I used to be. What do you use to reach the far corners of the rear glass? Some heavy rubbing is required. For decades I have sworn by GM Glass Cleaner and paper towel for final glass cleaning. It seems like I need some sort of replaceable pad on the end of a handle.
Thanks.

This is what I use on my A5 - it's the only way I can reach most of the back window.

I found the same product at Lee Valley.
I am a fan of GM Glass cleaner.
It is an aerosol and I have used it for decades.
Pleasant scent and very effective,

I too have the same "flexibility" problem (not a spring chichen anymore). Besides product selection might have to do some pre stretching or get into shape first.

I have to do the rear window cleaning as well soon, so wish me luck.

That will be the day when I do pre-stretch before I wash the car.
That is like a warm up lap before I mow the lawn

I usually walk the dog before mowing the lawn, it seems to do the trick!!
