    Car Manufacturers are IDIOTS!!!!

    How about making the friggin` rear window so it is easy to clean. Honda is a bigger IDIOT. They placed the third brake light like a 1/2 inch from the window so it is impossible to clean the window area in front of the light. FRIGGIN` IDIOTS!!!! OK I`m finished ranting. Sometimes I feel like the avatar of the guy banging in nails with his head.

    It isn`t just Honda. Take a look at the rear window and third brakelight on a 2000 Pontiac Grand Prix.

    Try using an egg flipper with a cloth over it. It helps getting into corners too.

    I use a plastic spatula with a MF towel, but doesn`t it seem kind of silly to have to use kitchen utensils to clean your car?
    Next thing you know someone will be suggesting using dishwashing liquid to wash your car before you wax/seal it.

    I get so frustrated with the brakelight on the GP that I actually considered moving it or taking it out completely.

    I have one (the newer one). But I have a unique problem. I`m too big to get into the back to clean the inside of my rear window! I have to ask the dealer`s servce shop to clean it for me. Embarrassing but true...

    I don`t think it`s silly at all! If it works who cares if it`s a spatula. I was recently doing some wheels that had brake dust cemented on them. I broke out many cleaners and tried scrubbing them and it was taking forever to make a dent in them. So I went into the house, grabbed some Bon Ami out from underneath the kitchen sink and went to work on the wheels with the Bon Ami and a microfiber. It worked like a champ and it didn`t scratch! If it works, that`s all that matters in my humble opinion.
    Sometimes I lie awake at night, and I ask, "Where have I gone wrong?"
    Then a voice says to me, "This is going to take more than one night."

    When asked about another technique, Bruce Lee once said,"If it works, use it" and that`s good enough for me.

    my accord isnt too hard to clean, although i am a smaller person.

    Hondas were never really ment to be detailed, read your owners manual. It says to wash your car with a good dish soap. a

    You should try cleaning the rear window on the 05-07 Mustangs. Holy smokes does it suck. Especially when you have no rotation in your shoulders.
