What do you use clean the outside of your windshield?
I bought some new wipers because my old ones were due for a change.
Before putting the new ones on I cleaned the windshield 3 times with Invisible Glass and a good microfiber towel. After that I wiped it down good with another clean and dry MF towel.
The new wipers work great but they leave a haze when they wipe.
I might try a few more passes with Invisible Glass but if that doesn't work what do you guys recommend?

I use our SRP glass cleaner at work (autoglass installer) all day with regular paper towels.
Are your microfiber towels new or just cleaned? you may still be getting some wax residue if it's only cleaned.

There actually was a product that I haven't seen in a while called Glass Wax. Worked good, but the dust sucked.
When I wax my car I go over the windshield and all windows with the detail spray and the buffer = better than new.
But for regular cleaning I use two passes of Invisible Glass. It says to do it a couple times to completely clean it.

I use Zaino's Glass Polish once in the spring when I take the car out of storage and again before I put it away for the winter. Then I maintain my glass with Stoners Invisible Glass and a microfiber towel.

I've done it a couple times with news paper, I can't say if it's "better" or not.. The best method is compound on an electric buffer and wash it like the rest of your car. When I compound my glass water beads up and rolls off like rainx but lasts alot longer and it's super shiny... Also removes water spots.

That is exactly what I do. I have just switched to the griots glass cleaner and it works a little better when it comes to streaks. As for removing scratches on the glass, try a glass polish, like from Zaino, and it should do the trick.
