    What do you 430/360 owners do about preventing and or cleaning the film that accumulates on the inside of the rear window?
    I have tried all kinds of glass cleaners which work nicely on the other windows to no avail on the rear window. Suggestions? TIA

    I use the "all purpose cleaner" from ZEP and I coat the window with Rejex wax to "limit" what sticks to the surface.

    I read on another board from a guy that has well over a 100 collector cars that the best thing is to wipe/polish with a clean terry towel with nothing on it. Inside windows only. That way no film collects(ususally from the cleaner) and begins to get foggy. Try it.

    I have had good luck with rain-x window cleaner. It smells like there is quite a bit of ammonia which may be the key. Perhaps just water with ammonia will do it.

    For over the last year, I've just used a damp leather and gone over the inside of the back of the window. Havent had any problems yet. The design of the airflow over the back of the 430 tends to keep it clear.
