Stoner "Invisible Glass" by far the best glass cleaner I've ever used. I use soft cotton cloth, not paper towels as they contain petroleum products which will streak. Advanced Auto Parts, Sam's and Walmart all sell the product.

Bon Ami cleanser also works on the tough stuff. Don't try any other brand of cleanser though because they are too abrasive.

Do yourself a HUGE favor and go buy some Micro Fiber rags at the Auto store! They make cleaning ANYTHING 3x easier than with newspaper/cotton/whatever.... It's true, what used to take 5 minutes with windex on windows now takes 20 seconds. Sometimes you don't even need a cleaner, water gives the same results.

As a bonus, you can dry the car with them after washing and you will get NO water streaking whatsoever (provided you give'm a little sqeeze every now and then).

Just don't dry them in the dryer with the fabric softener sheets. They reduce the rags absortion ability.

I have used the micro-fiber shop towels for over a year--they are great! Costco has them for cheap--something like 20 towels for 9 bucks.

Believe it or not- I would wash it & use Rejex on it wait 30 minutes & buff it off with a clean yellow buffing cloth. Watch the clearest Glass you have ever seen. Every glass cleaner I use sucks. There is always some cloudyness & streaks. I used Rejex on the inside & out side glass, now I have crystal clear SLIPPERY glass. Just do it

But as far as I'm concerned, Stoners Invisible Glass works best. The GM cleaner second.

Great LINK!

Don't buy the yellow ones with the tags...they do scratch. The blue ones work fine.
