Yep, I did and thought they stunk. That surprised me because I love all the rest of their products.

Default Same experience here.

In my experience, most wet cleaners just cause smearing on the inside of the windshield. A dry microfiber cloth seems to do a really nice job for me.

Default So what do you guys recommend for INSIDE glass?

The Griots cleaner and their "Lint Free" towels?

Default I'm with RKA on the microfiber, but I use with Stoner's "Invisible Glass" .. after trying about 10

recommended glass cleaners, this is my favorite.

Default Actually, I WAS talking about the inside of the glass.

That haze that builds up is best removed with a dry cloth (turn frequently). Haven't tried the Griots or the invisible glass.

Default I use Windex and microfibre towels, works great, microfibre works great on glas!...

But beware! Microfibre towels can be very abrasive on other surfaces!

Default Don't say that!

I just ordered six microfiber polishing cloths from Griots. They are supposed to be great for removing waxes and polishes...so how can they be abrasive?

Default Which surfaces might those be?

I have been told (by the owner of AutoFanatics) that the microfiber towels should not be used in conjunction with Plexus when cleaning the instrument cluster plastic "window". As the Plexus actually softens the surface of the plastic slightly and the microfiber might cause scratches.
