A windshield installer told me many, many years ago that the best is newspaper and vinegar. It does an unbelievable job.

The absolute biggest secret ..... don't clean glass when its hot !

Seriously, the cleaner dries to quickly in some areas and does not clean effectively. I find that using a lint-free towel and Stoner's Invisible Glass works well. The Glass MF towels work well, but must we kept and washed outside of other towels.

The second secret .... never use the same area of the towel another time. Infact, if you can, wipe with one towel and then rewipe with a fresh towel.
