I've always just used a wet/damp cloth and wiped away quickly with a dry one.

Nope no tint right now. Unless there is stock tint but no aftermarket

I use a glass cleaner called Hi-Sheen

spray it on thick and heavy (it foams). Using clean, bare hands, rub it in "wax on, wax off" Karate Kid style. Then, use loosely wadded up pieces of newspaper to wipe the rest off

Stoners and a good quality glass microfiber is all I ever use.

I use a wet/damp cloth too, used to use windex on my old Camaro but did the same thing with the streaks.

I use griots garage window cleaner and that is great at not streaking. I used to use stoners but switched. Also I use Zaino glass polish twice a year. If there are streaks that wont come off Griots makes a window clay bar thet might help.

Stoners is what I use on my car and all the cars I detail and works great. Almost looks like you waxed the windows. Also you can get it from auto parts stores which is a plus.
