Invisible glass is what I use here in Florida, good stuff. I live a block from the ocean and get a lot of salt spray. It usually takes two applications to remove the salt and get streak free windows.

Works awesome, if you don't use newpaper, you need to use a clean, fabric softner FREE rag. The residue on the rag is what leaves some streaks. Also you need to wet wipe with one side and dry well, real well, with the other. 2 rags come in handy here.

Micro-fiber cloth and water! My wife has been buying inexpensive micro-fiber cloths at "Big Lots" for cheap and they are great! I also use them to wipe guitars to a rich shine

i use windex and paper towels to get all the tough stuff off, then let it dry and show the streaks, them get a soft towel and buff out the streaks, works great for me.

I use a 50/50 mix of alcohol and water with a clean microfiber towel.Another good idea is when you buy new microfiber towels mark them with a "G" with a sharpie so you will know to only use them on glass so no other products get on them.

Stoner's Invisible Glass and micro-fiber towel. Get them at Costco. Cut them into quarters and toss when get dirty. The one left with the tag I use for glass only. Keep the tag away from your paint. Or just pull it off since it can scratch. Gee....is this group **** or what?
