Yeah Stoners Invisible glass works great. I don't like using newspaper just because it seems so wierd but it does work. I just use a terry towel.

Eagle One's 20/20 works excellent also. After cleaning the glass with your towel and the window is dry. I find taking a new clean towel and wiping the glass again with it works best to remove any small streaks.

Stoner's Invisible Glass and woven glass towels .. I was using some micro-fober glass towels from Meg's . but Steve @ tropi-care suggested I try some of their woven glass towels .. so I did ..

I really like them they cut well through the dirt, etc .. then I come back with a clean dry one to do a final polish and the glass looks great.

newsaper works very well, as do coffee filters.. but I would prefer to use something that is washable and reusable..

I like Stoner's aerosol version better than the squirt bottle, just thought I would throw that out there.
