Glass Cleaner???
This is probably been asked a number of times..but I can't find anything on it....I've tried a number of cleaners and been through the chore to find the proper cloth to use...but I'm still finding the interior windows with vinyl off gas and the ever present microfiber lint in the glass....driving me nuts..
Pardon me if this POs anyone...

I get excellent results using Mira Fiber Cloths as well. I got mine here:

The manual actually mentions using damp microfiber on the interior glass for the first six months to reduce haze. Spiking that with some rubbing alcohol would probably make that more effective.

Stoner Invisible Glass. Available at most auto parts stores, Wal-Mart, etc.
*edit*
Yes, it is tint-safe. I've used it on numerous cars with various types of window tint.

Wipe the glass down with Mira Fiber Cloth lightly dampened with distilled water and dry with micro fiber.

But this one is the best cleaner I've ever used, even with Bounty Towels.
GM glass cleaner and high quality paper towels work great.

Alcohol and water will work but does smell pleasant.
Meguiars glass cleaner is concentrated, works very well and is cost effective.
Not only is a quality Microfiber needed so that lint is not left behind but so is the removal process, be sure not to bunch the towel between your fingers as this will cause streaking. Finally, clean the inside of the windows one way as in Vertical or Horizontal and the out side the opposite so you know which one has streaks on your final inspection.
