I picked up a Windex-brand microfiber towel/polishing cloth at the grocery store the other day (its one towel, with the blue microfiber on one side, and the other is a tan colored polishing cloth). Works like a charm. I keep it in the glove compartment, and use it when ever I see any haze (I'm pretty **** about hazy windshields!) Cost was about $8, if I recall correctly. No streaks, good quality product. Not sure if it is widely available, or if any forum vendors sell it.

(checked eBay, and found it. It's called Window Sponge, by a company called "Libman", about $7.)

Most grocery stores in my area of the South East carry the Libman produce line.

I ended up buying some Stoners and some new Costco microfiber towels and glass looks perfect, inside and out.
Will keep these towels separate as I do not want any wax residue on them.

For you guys that are getting streaks --
Is your final wipe with a towel with cleaner?

I Have had great luck with Spray away cleaner in a can wiped off with a MF followed with a light buff with a clean dry MF with zero product on it

Follow with a second, clean, Fast Glass towel and repeat the exact process.

For ease of cleaning the front windscreen, clean driver side sitting in passenger side seat and vice versa.

This towel has eliminated any streaking for me.

yes these are good towels and they are all basically similar in nature to the KD towel (which i believe was the original).

for those looking for a dedicated microfiber towel for windows, get microfiber madness cloud buster...great towel.

That looks like those cloths you get in the case when you buy new eyeglasses.

I have been using news paper to clean windows and they come out perfect!

$.50 USD goes a long way!

Same her, no streaks at all. Just don't let it touch your polycarbonate top if you have. SCRATCH...

Invisible Glass and newspaper works for me.
