Unless you have 28" arms you're also going to need one of those pad-on-a-handle tools to clean the inside of the windshield.

Spray Away is the brand name. They make all kinds of other stuff as well, such as stainless steel cleaner. Their glass cleaner is foam, smells great, and is almost impossible to get to streak lol.

...and I use lemon amonia mixed with water, then buff with a dry, low lint towel. Perfect windows everytime! (you can waste your money on expensive window cleaners, but the results are absolutely no better than amonia/water)

I seem to recall that Consumer Reports tested glass cleaners a few years ago and this came out at the top of the list. I'm sure they were not testing "windshield". I've also used Wurth glass cleaner which used to be my favorite but now, the (whatever it's called) magic towel from - I think - Southern Corvette Parts - is a must have and works very well on the interior windows. It would probably be equally good on the exterior of the windows too if I used some more aggressive cleaner first.

I've also tried the "One Grand" glass cleaner and can't honestly recommend it, although their other products are great.

I'm going to have to check out this Invisible Glass stuff.

Adam's Glass Cleaner with a microfiber towel works very well.

I also use Stoners but the hardest thing to find is a microfiber towel, terry towel or newspaper that doesn't leave some type of small film.

I use Stoner's Invisible Glass Aerosol version with a non-linting microfiber.

I have found the most important part in glass cleaning is the second swipe after the product has been removed and there is a slight residue left. Use a second dry microfiber for the second pass to make sure all residue is gone.

I too use Stoner's and I also use DP Glass Polish from Autogeek to remove dried on water spots.

Both are excellent products, and I've tried a lot of them.
