My Ride: 2007 530xi, with premium package (PDC, Logic 7, Bluetooth, heated wheel, heated rear seats) and sports package in Sapphire Black with Truffle interior. Also a 2004 X5 4.4 with Premium package, Nav, Comfort Seats, DSP, heated wheel, Sterling silver with BK interior.
I am enjoying my 530xi a lot since getting it in January. However, I find that cleaning inside the rear window is very tricky. My X5 is a doddle but the 530 is hard to reach all the glass. Does anyone have any sneaky tricks or tips for making the job easy? Thanks all...

Now that that's over, what's a "doddle?"

I find a couple of things helpful: 1) make sure the car's in the shade and is cool; 2) use an alcohol-base (you can mix it yourself from isopropyl alcohol) fluid; 3) use two microfiber cloths...one to apply the solution and wipe the whole glass, and one to wipe until the glass is dry and streak-free. When you wash your microfiber cloths, be sure NOT to use fabric softener in the wash, and NOT to use fabric softener sheets in the dryer cycle (or better yet - let them air dry).
