I use Stoner's, and I spray it on the newspaper, MF, or paper towel (whichever I happen to be using) instead of on the window. I find that I get a lot less streaking that way.
Also: Try doing the inside of the windows in a vertical motion, and the outside in a horizontal motion, that way you can easily tell which side the streaks are on when you see them.
You're probably refering to Mira Fiber cloths. I use them and love them. Just wet them, ring then out and wipe your windows streak free. I have never washed mine, as with detergent, I just rinse them out when done and allow to air dry. They are a bit expensive at $5 a cloth.

I slightly dampen (not wet) an Absorber with water to clean my windows. I've used them for years and they don't leave streaks.

I have used most glass cleaners with success. The trick is the towel IMO. I use these and they work very well http://ultimatecloth.com/onlineStore.html
