Default Glass Cleaner??

Well, a soda exploded inside my car about a week ago, and went everywhere. I have got the carpet, seats and dash all clean but I am really having a hard time getting the glass completely streak free I mean its not that bad but I am really particular and would like to know what everyone is using out there, because windex just isn't cutting it. Let me know what you guys use to clean your windows.

Stone Glass Cleaner with a towel. Then I hit it again with newspaper instead of the cloth and its spotless.

yeah if you use 1/4 of white vinegar and 3/4 water it will take away all the streaks on the windows.

Make sure the windows are not hot. Do it in shade or when the sun goes down so the heat wont evaporate the cleaners and make more streaks. The viniger is good to get the water spots off as well on the outside of your glass. Newspaper and the microfiber rags work very well for me as well.
Hope this helps
Dan

It's the best ever...I use that with rain x window cleaner which is safe for tinted cars, and it works like a charm.
