I'm going to give it a try, on the "windows from Hell" on my 470. It's not just about reaching the inside of these Taylor Made windows, but truly I have never seen anything like this as I can't get them clean no matter what I try and I have tried 15 different things. It's like there was some kind of film or something on them that never got removed .....

Cliff, fly me out and I will fix this problem I may be headed to a house in RI to fix another's problem.
Before you spend more money on cleaning solutions keep this in your mind. You MUST remove the residue from all those cleaning solutions BEFORE you try to get to the root of the problem! The more cleaners you try the deeper the issue will be. Think of it as wax on a floor, it must be removed once in awhile.

And the way to remove the residue is....? Vinegar and newspaper?
To start? EzGlide and denatured alcohol to remove the build up of cleaners. Make sure the cleaner is in a bottle that has never been used for anything else and rinse it out before using it. NO NEWSPAPER! Use a glass polishing cloth. All of that stuff is a myth! Wipe clean the glass and repeat using a squeegee. Add Unger glass cleaning solution to the mix of Ez and alcohol and mist the window glass to get it wet and keep the bottle near by. Cover your dash with an old towel. Now this is the tough part, find a glass polishing compound and compound the inside of your glass first. If you don't really know how to do this DONT! Go online Window Cleaning Resources and MrHardwater are good places to start.
Sometimes when the glass is made it has an oily residue that is left behind, it's nobody's fault it just happens. You can't see the issue till things like this happen. Then folks try everything to fix the problem all the over the counter cleaners do is compound the problem.

Just read about Ez Glide sounds like a great product & a lot easier to use than Bar Keepers Friend plus it's biodegradable.
