I use to hate cleaning glass but this tool has made my job so much easier. Cleaning the back windows of cars is a piece of cake. I found placing a surgical towel on the tool works better than one’s that comes with the tool.

Join Date: Mar 2003 Location: Halifax, MA Posts: 672 | Thank you for putting up this review, I've been seriously considering buying one of these just to handle the front windsheild and rear glass.
Can you apply enough pressure with this tool to remove the haze? You also mentioned you prefer a sergical towel instead of the standard cloths, where did you get the towel and how did you apply it on to the tool?

I just lay the towel over the top of the cleaning tool, once one part of towel gets grime on it I just pull the towel over about five inches and keep on cleaning. One of the reason I like the cleaning tool is the amount of presser I can put on the glass.

Thanks. | "the other pc" posted links for the Griots and Eastwood glass cleaning tool so here is a link for a lower cost alternative, the Glass Wizard, that you can get for about $10.00 locally. http://www.asseenontv.com/prod-pages...zard.html?gid=
I just bought one to do the inside front window of our mini-van (hard to reach with my arms). While I’m sure it’s not as well made as Griots it seems to do OK. I bought one at a Bed, Bath & Beyond store locally for $10.00. The local Walgreens carried them also but were out of stock. | |
