If you have clean glass already, as in you've washed it, use Stoner's Invisible Glass. If you have caked on bugs and dirt, wash it first then finish with IG. I bought this after Windex left annoying streaks all over and I don't get them with IG. If you get any, it's because there's too much on there but wiping it more or letting it dry solves that problem.

Yeah, I suck w/ Windex. The door windows are usually ok, but the inside of my windshield always streaks. I even though of just using plain water, seeing as it cleans the outside of the glass well, and doesn't streak. Looks like I'll be picking up some Invisible Glass though.

Sometimes on the interior, if you're using some type of rubber/vinyl protectant and happen to overspray the window it leaves annoying streaks.

The MF towel is great. I just use that and some warm water on the inside now, and windex on the outside (If you happen to use Windex on tinted windows make sure you get the ammonia-free kind).
