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.

A fine, glass-only microfiber towel is also needed regardless of your chosen cleaner. I use one to clean and one to dry.

Couldn't you just apply a coat of wax to the windshield? When I wax I usually put a coat on the headlights but never have done the other glass.

For those that use newspaper, which works really well, look around in your area for bulk suppliers of newsprint. This the blank material that is used for printing and comes in bundles, something like 100 sheets. I have used this for ages and it works great. But, like newspaper it tends to fall apart and leave bits of paper if you don't change often. I use it with water and my widows look great.
