Default Cleaning Tips?

Fellow CF'ers,

First, let's be thankful we're not in a Mazda forum! Does anyone have a good trick for cleaning the inside of the windshield? I always find streaks when I'm done and in the right light at the right angle it looks horrible not to mention embarrassing. Any recommendations for product and/or method? Thanks!

Steve

Try this....I found it on the BMW forum and it works....don't know why. Spray Windex or some similar window cleaner on a newspaper. Crumple it up and wipe down the windshield interior. For some reason, the glass comes out great! Trust me....I'm from Nebraska

I think I have tried every window cleaner from every auto parts store around, my windows are streakless using a spray bottle with plain water and one of those microfiber towels designed for cleaning glass. I will never stray from this method.

Had the same problem with many types of glass cleaners. Until I tried Meguiars NXT Glasss Cleaner. I recommend it.

Thank you all! I'll definitely try these solutions. I'm a little skeptical about the newspaper, I must admit, but who knows? It certainly can't be any worse!
