Try a squeegee, they make some small ones that will get to that part of the windshield.

I had the same problem...seems my windshield was always hazy. I tried micro fiber towels and spray cleaner-no joy. The windows still looked hazy.
I waxed and polished the windshield-it looks stunning afterwards. Then, for more often use, a bit of vinegar and water applied with a spray bottle and wiped dry with a piece of wadded up newspaper.
Looks great, but it is still a pain to get the very lowest inside part of the screen, even with my long arms.

I like Stoner's Invisible Glass. Also use it around the house for windows and mirrors.
Stoner's makes a nice tool for getting those hard to reach places at the bottom of the windshield.

The side door windows are the only ones that are easy to clean for me.
I think the back window is clean from the outside but as soon as the sun hits it just right, it looks terrible while looking through the rear view mirror.

Mix 1 part rubbing alchohol, with 3 parts water in a spray bottle. Spray your windows, wipe off with clean dry cloth. Streaks/haze will be gone like magic. Tried all the other after market products listed in this post. NONE work like the above.

I have been using Adam's glass cleaner for years. One trick with any cleaner is to keep two microfibers going. One for the gross removal of cleaner, and one dry one for the final pass. The inside film is really tough. Partly because it's hard to get the light just right to even see it.

I got this kit, this thing works really well for the wedge. I use Adams glass cleaner though, it works better than any of the others I've tried. Also, I read a tip on here to clean vertically inside and horizontally outside (or vice versa), that way you can figure out which side has streaks.

Polish the exterior of the glass first then apply the ceramic glass coating. I have done this on all of my vehicles. I have found nothing better.

Future wiping down the windshield is a breeze and this process will provide maximum protection to the glass surface and eliminate streaks.

My view:
1. The cleaner really doesn't matter
2. Make sure the window is cool temperature and you are not cleaning in the sun.
3. Spray on the cleaner - rub around the windshield with one cloth and do not let it dry - make sure you dry and remove the residual with another cloth.
4. Do not let the window cleaner dry on the window - any remaining liquid needs to be wiped off with the second cloth.
Not sure if you have ever been in a cab in Tokyo, butter windows are spotless and this is the process I've witnessed over there.
