Cleaning the inside of the rear window.

We know that. There is no sun in the UK.

Correct. It's like living in a fridge, cold and dark.

Swifer has a longer adjustable handle, so I can clean the rear or front glass by standing outside the car. Swiffer uses refill cloths that are available at any discount store. Obviously, works great in the home also, especially on floors.

Which Swiffer model do you use? I checked all their products online and the width of the pad seems to be too wide to conform to the window curves and the length of the handle seems too long.

I use the Swiffer Sweeper Floor Mop. I buy the Dry Cloths and spray whatever cleaner I want directly on the cloth after attaching it to the mop.

The Swiffer Floor Mop actually has a three-piece pole that can be shortened, but I use the entire length standing out outside the car, and it is not too long. The front and rear windows are flat enough for the Swiffer. The Swiffer Mop itself swivels where it connects to the pole.

I primarily use the Swiffer Sweeper Floor Mop for floors in my house, also great for cleaning dust off the top of the refrigerator and other hard to read places. I buy the dry cloth refills in bulk at Costco or other discount stores. They dry cloth refills are cheap enough to replace often. They also sell wet cloth refills, but I like to choose my own chemical cleaner for whatever job I have.

BTW, I noticed you have fitted the winged badge on your trunk. I have all the necessary bits to do this. Did that go well? Did you use a hair dryer to soften the adhesive on the original Hyundai badge? How hot did you get it? I'm just concerned about damaging the paint.

Never had any issues with the heating element in any car with this product.

The rear wing was a piece of cake. Clean the car> heat it up a little bit and use dental floss to cut trough the glue> used WD-40 to get the glue off your car> I cleaned and hand buff the area> Lay tape down for reference points so everything is centered> peel the backing off and install the wing using the reference mark.

Thanks this tip and Swiffer information.

A household hair dryer doesn't really get hot enough to damage the paint, unless you were really careless with proximity and duration (and still don't think it can get hot enough). I used a hair dryer on my 2015, but for my 2016, I found it even easier to just set up a small space heater (hot air - but not hot enougn to make you hand uncomfortable in the air stream ) on a step ladder behind the car. I checked it every 5 minutes and 20 minutes later and the trunk surface/badge were nice and warm (not too hot to touch) and fishing line cut through the badge adhesive like it was warm butter.

One more thing. I just checked and a standard 12" square microfiber towel can be used on the Swiffer instead of the dry clothes they sell.

Before buying one, check with your wife to see if she already has a Swiffer.

I was just wondering if I could use some liquid hand soap (presume this would be gentle) on a wet microfibre cloth, then remove the soap with a wet microfibre cloth, and dry with a dry microfibre cloth. I feel a bit nervous about using formulated cleaners on the elements. I've ordered some Invisible Glass, but if it evaporates with no streaks, is it alcohol based and may dissolve element material a little?
