If the glass is not scratched, use a clay bar to clean the grime off the glass and follow up with Invisible Glass window cleaner.
Light scratches can be buffed out with Cerium Oxide powder.

You kneel on the passenger seat, put your left hand on the driver's seat or console, and use your right hand (twisting it counter clockwise) to wipe the entire windshield. I usually spray and wipe starting with the the driver side first and work my way back out to the passenger side. Arm length shouldn't be an issue, just lean further in.
It's demonstrated in this video, starting at 10:12

[QUOTE=dmk0210;1595523619]You do the entire inside from the passenger side. (I've never used a claybar on the interior of windows, that shouldn't be necessary.)

I wasn't referring to you with my statement about snide comments.
The tool I bought is inexpensive and makes cleaning the inside very easy. Reply 19 shows what I'm talking about.

No worries, I know you weren't. 
I was just trying to show a technique that I've found useful for the inside. It could be combined with the other tools as well.
With the steep sloped windshield and as large as it is, the inside is a PITA no matter what. I'm just glad I don't have to do the inside of that big back window that you guys with coupes have.

Is this a Corvette windshield or a regular Car windshield? I ask because Corvettes require special cleaning items and methods that are different from regular cars. Just search washing or waxing your Corvette and you will see what I mean.
I use Glass cleaner and a clean towel on all home and auto glass - no streaks.
