    INTERIOR glass polish ...

    Don't congratulate me YET, but with the help of the patch, I'm down to a pack a week from roughly a pack a day. Right now what's hurting me is that I like to smoke while I drive and as a result, my car smelled like an ashtray. A couple of bottles of Quik Interior Detailer, a can of "Lemon Fresh" Lysol and about 1/2 bottle of Febreeze, the interior no longer smells of smoke BUT you can't use any of those on glass, so now I need product recommendations.

    When I washed my car the other day, the exterior windows got really clean and now I can see just how bad the INTERIOR of the glass is ... It's covered in a haze of icky, sticky cigarette smoke which is a pain and a half to get rid of. Even two + passes with Invisible Glass doesn't always pull it all off, and the smearing

    I looked up 'glass polish' in the AG store, but they all say exterior glass, but can they be used INSIDE too? I especially need something for the rear window and windshield since you have to be a contortionist to wipe them down. The door and quarter windows are easy and already done, but the front and rear scare me.

    Any suggestions?

    I also read of someone using a Magic Eraser. I've not done it, but it sounds like a reasonable idea.

    Interesting idea ... I might see if we have one to try.

    INTERIOR glass polish ...

    It’s pretty much become standard procedure for me to use a magic eraser with some ONR or UWW+ (melamine sponge) on the interior of any windows I’ve never cleaned before, just because it makes my life so much easier.

    My car was owned by my dad who was a smoker previously, and a magic eraser cleaned it up very quickly and easily. A lot more towels than normal also helped. I ended up using one per window, so I didn’t reintroduce any of the film back onto the glass.

    Ever since I took the time to do that deep cleaning, I’ve never had an issue getting streak free windows.

    I've used cleaner wax on interior windows before that were neglected and it turned out fantastic.
