Stoner's Invisible Glass AND the cheapest paper towels you can buy.
More expensive ones had additives that make them feel softer and hold more water that result in streaks.

NEVER EVER use paper products on auto glass, especially mirrors. I use a high quality micro fiber cloth with Stoner's Invisible Glass. I have tried everything including Glass Wax over the years. Glass Wax works great but it is easy to get it on areas you don't want it on and then it is tough to get off.

and I use a microfiber towel per their recommendation. It's the best solution I've seen so far as to streaking.

I use CLEAN microfibers and Stoner's. The gap at the bottom of the inside of the windshield is a pain. There is a new gadged being offered by Maguires which is triangular and holds mf pads.

Add my votes to the Stoner's & newspapers list, although I'll have to try the microfiber cloth route as well.

Why? I've been using Invisible Glass and old newspapers on all of my cars for at least 10 years without a single problem (or streak). Explain your anti paper bias...

Stoners Dude!..

Also if the windshield is really dirty I spray the window directly, wipe clean then spray the paper towel and wipe a second time.

Windex or Adams glass cleaner + newspaper or glass cleaning microfiber towels. I always do mine twice and the first time I use the larger microfiber towels that I wax with. Zero streaks.

I think Invisable Glass works better than anything I have ever used, however, a word of caution......make sure you get it in the aerosol can NOT the spray bottle

Water and a micro-fiber towel works for me.
