This pad will hold up pretty well. We've had one for a couple years now and used it on the Neon and now the Fiesta. Find/use a non-ammonia cleaner (as noted already) and dampen the pad. Does quite well reaching the bottom of the windshield.

The microfiber pad is washable so simply toss it in with a load.

I use the As you see it on TV wipe thing. Seems to work great for me. I spray some rubbing alcohol on the pad and it cleans the window well.

It was either sit outside or roam Bad Breath and Beyond with my wife, I choose the later and found this.



It's $10 and refill microfiber pads are 4 for $10.

The handle has a universal type joint attaching it to the pad so it pivots in all directions. Does the Stoner unit pivot in all directions?

Yes. Get the Invisible Glass and you're set.
