Default Cleaning inside windshield

Do you guys find it difficult to get (and keep) your windshield clean on the inside? What techniques/products do you use?

I use "Sprayway" window cleaner and a squeegee. Then wipe with a microfiber cloth.

this comes up about twice a month, do a search you’ll find a lot. I use an invisible glass windshield microfiber tool.

This one is my third and best attempt.

The cloths that come with are double sided and reversible so it's easy to do the whole job with one.
The threads on the wand handle are standard broom/paint pole so I got one these..

Now I can sit on either side of the car and reach all the glass inside, AND I can easily open the rear hatch and clean the rear glass and hatch glass. ..

Couldn't be happier with the arrangement.

I’ve been using these for a year now. They work 100pct. Especially on the inside, they cut through the haze without fail. No streaks, nothing. The best $25 you can spend for your glass.

I use this as well. Works as advertised. Just wet it, a quick once over, and you’re done.

All that works but still leaves streaks. Give the window a quick clean then use Adams Brilliant Glaze, apply a thin layer to the window inside and out with an applicator wait a few minutes for it to dry and buff off with a clean microfibre rag perfect window every time and no mess spraying the inside window and covering the dash etc.
