95161 Reach and Clean Tool (1-Piece) - Window Wand Glass Cleaning Tool for Windshields, Cleaner for Auto Glass, Hard-to-Reach Places

Based on some of the reviews here I was a little skeptical of this tool, but I was tired of driving with a murky/slimy/grimy windshield that seemed impossible to clean using the traditional cloth-and-Windex method. I dreaded every time I attempted to clean my windshield, the contorted positions, the always-unreachable bottom of the windshield where it meets the dashboard, and the inevitable streaky result which made my wonder why I should even bother. I knew there were tools for this and I picked this one, because it seemed to be the least sucky of the bunch. Well, to cut a long story short, it worked in spades. It comes with 3 "socks", a microfiber (to wipe off after cleaning, I assume), a "rubbing" cloth (to clean), and a mesh thing (I don't know what for). The instructions say to spray cleaning fluid (I used some automotive glass cleaner akin to Windex) directly on the windshield and then rub it with the tool, but for my car (Subaru Outback with EyeSight) I can't spray anything directly on the windshield (Subaru fanbois know why) so I just equipped the rubbing sock on the tool (it's a little awkward stretching it so tightly to fit over the triangular head of the tool) and then sprayed liquid on the cloth. Then I went to work and, thanks to the shape of this tool, it reached easily into all the recesses and corners of the windshield. The thing also has a large surface so it covers a lot of area quickly. After a quick rubdown I switched to the microfiber cloth and wiped the glass dry. That was it. Once more I had an actual transparent windshield, as opposed to the translucent one I've been driving for the past few months, and it took me half the time as the "traditional" method. As for those claiming it breaks easily and/or it's flimsy, I don't see how. Granted, I only used it once, but even though it's all plastic, it's very solid and thick plastic, so I don't know how you managed to break it. Oh, and someone was complaining about the hinge. I think that's one of the best features. It allows the head to rotate in any position, to match the curvature of the window, not to mention that you can swipe both horizontally or vertically with ease.

I got this specifically because I have a hard time getting in and out of the car to clean the inside glass. This unit lets you attach an extension pole to increase its reach, which I did with a Bates - 3 Ft Telescoping Extension Pole available on Amazon. The results are amazing! Follow the directions. Use a small amount of glass cleaner - don’t saturate the glass. (I used two quick spritzes for each half of the windshield ... that's it.) Then use the tool to clean the glass - first using long vertical strokes and then the same thing horizontally. Takes about 30 seconds for each half of the windshield per side. Using the extension pole, I was able to clean the inside of the front and back windshields of my car while standing outside of the vehicle. The whole process was as painless as I could have ever wished for. This is a great product and I only wish I had found it sooner. Go on and get yours!! You’ll be glad you did.

All I wanted is a tool that would make it possible to easily clean the long, sloped inside surface of a late-model car's windshield, able to reach all corners as well as the lower inside edge of the windshield (which may be two feet or more beyond the face of the dashboard). This tool makes doing this possible without performing incredible, difficult, and painful contortions to a 77 year-old body. With this tool, I can sit on each side of the front seat, spray the inside of the windshield with a cleaning solution (such as Windex), spray a bit of cleaning solution on the terry-cloth cover of this tool, and use it to clean and wipe the entire inside of the windshield. Depending on how dirty the inside of the windshield is, it might take two or three times and a few minutes to get it to a first-class condition. The tool is sturdy but also is flexible and long enough to allow easy use over the entire inside of the windshield. The triangular 'head' works well to get into all the corners and edges of the inside of the windshield. I would give this product 5-Stars except the cloth cleaning 'bonnets' that fit on the triangular head seem a bit cheap and small. They work, but are a little difficult to get on. If they shrink, it will be a real problem. A slight bit more fabric would make this a truly first-class product.

I like this thing more than I ever thought I would. For one thing it is sturdier than any window cleaner I've used before. The pointed end is great for getting in the corners of your windshield and any oddly shaped windows on your vehicle. Even better you can STAND outside your vehicle if it's an SUV or hatchback and still clean the rear side windows.

Giving it 3 stars because it should come with an extension handle. works very well as it is flexible and you can reach corners as well as the outside part of apartment windows which is what I use it for but needs extension. why would you sell this without an extension handle?

This one actually works! Tried the green/black as seen on TV version of this, which didn't help at all. We drive into the sun both ways commuting. Keeping the windows clean reduces annoyance and makes a huge difference for safety. The smooth attachment on this gets all the smudges and streaks out, leaving a clean and clear windshield. We don't use windex or water, just the smooth pad. We keep the outsides clean and use aquapel. We haven't used this on the outside windows because we don't want it to get too dirty to clean the inside windshield effectively. The bottom cap does allow for a pole attachment. It's super sturdy and allows you to put pressure on the swiveling head and get even the most stubborn sticky streaks. The shape allows you to get into the corners and into the seam between the windshield and dashboard.

I bought this intending to store it at my house, maybe in the garage. Instead, it lives in the backseat of my car, always within reaching distance. I've got a new car, and I've become addicted to keeping the windows totally clean. Something about the off-gassing from new plastic and insulation causes interior windows to build up a fog or haze. I regularly use a spray and paper towels on the outside, but most of the time a quick wipe with this tool keeps the inside of the glass totally clean and free of haze or fog. I've also found myself quickly whipping this out at stoplights on cold mornings and wiping the entire interior windshield within seconds. All while seated and with my seatbelt still on. It's just a great little tool for fast cleaning. HIghly recommended for your car care arsenal.

Although I won't say this is the greatest thing since sliced bread, it did exactly what I wanted it to do for the price. I own a full sized pick-up truck and cleaning the inside windshield is a royal pain. I was able to sit in the passenger side seat and spray a little cleaner onto the windshield glass and in about 20 seconds was able to reach and clean the entire inside windshield. If I buy a product and it performs the task then in my book it is a winner. Comes with 3 different covers, one of them is for scrubbing crud off windows but I just had smudges so did not use that one, I used the softer of the three. The handle swivels and the head is not thick so it was easy to get into the hard to reach corners. Want a bonus feature? The end piece can be use to hang it from a hook BUT wait there is more lol. The end piece unscrews so you can attach a pole to reach high windows which makes this a muti-purpose product.
