you can use some aino window polish, but I just Use some Invisible glass (better when the window is cool like in morning or evening) and 99 percent of the time I never get streaks. You can find Invisible Glass in any autozone/pepboys/target/walmart/Discount Auto Parts etc...

I spray a little glass cleaner (Stoner's, Sprayway, Adam's, etc.) on a short-nap MF towel to clean and follow immediately with another dry MF towel to remove any left over residue.

I even clean my house windows with newspapers. People laughed at me in the past, then I did their cars and no one believes it. I use eagle vision 2000 and newspaper!!!

What kind of Newspaper are you all using? Do you think the NY Times will work good?

Just kidding.
I use Stoners Invisible Glass with some type of surgical towel...forget what the hell they're called but they work real nice and I can never seem to find them anymore

When I polish the car, I also polish the glass with Klasse All In One

Windex on a shop rag, then remove w/ clean & dry microfiber towel...

Newspaper works great, but you'll never get your hands clean afterwards!
