Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

13 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Being over 6ft makes it quite difficult to clean the windows on the 996? Any tips or tricks to stop the streaky windows?

POST 2Original post

Make you own window cleaner: 1) 1 part denatured alcohol to 2 parts distilled water, in a spray bottle 2) 100% white terry cloth towels, never washed with any fabric softener, only used for window cleaning 3) Spray one towel with cleaner, don't spray window 4) Clean window 5) Buff dry with another towel 6) Windows need to be cool, and out of the sunlight FYI- I am 6"2' and a Concours winner!

POST 3Original post

Newsprint (no color, light on ink) or chamois and a foaming cleaner like Stoner invisible glass (after a good wash, of course) will keep the streaks and lint to a minimum. Get a stool or chair if it's too hard for you to see what you're cleaning, and use lots of light. Since the door windows are frameless, it makes it very easy to pull residue from the bottom edge backward, where you can wipe it away from the edge of the window with the door open.

POST 4Original post

Invisible Glass has always worked the best for me and you can pick it up almost anywhere. Just spray on then wipe off. Is your height an issue because you're trying to wash the inside of the front/rear windshields? Because if so, too bad, you're in my boat and you'll just have to become a contortionist.

POST 5Original post

Stoner's Invisible Glass and two micro fiber towels. One towel for cleaning and the other towel for buffing.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks guys. Yes the problem with my size is getting to all of the nooks and crannies.

POST 8Original post

I get the wife to do it - she's not as tall as me, and getting her to do it doesn't seem to tire me out or cause me the same aches and pains as doing it myself.

POST 9Original post

Yes I am 6'4". Rear window is not fun. I clean it about once a month. Griots Garage makes a handy looking tool . I am just to cheap to buy it.

POST 13Original post

Groits is not the only one that offers that type of cleaning tool. http://www.autosportcatalog.com/index.cfm?fa=p&pid=3422 I bought one of these "Glassmaster Pro System" on special for $19.95 with an extra set of the terry bonnets thrown in. I wish I had found something like it sooner. I had used my wife's "swiffer" with towels. I could stand outside of my car and reach through the roll cage to clean the back window. This glassmaster tool mounted on a broom handle reaches the corners better and the tool (with out the stick) makes windshield corners much easier.
