Another vote here for Invisible Glass. 
I apply it with one microfiber towel, then rub it dry with a second microfiber until the towel "pulls" on the glass. This is the only method that I have used that results in streak free glass. I haven't tried the newspaper method yet but I understand that it works great as well.

Don't understand why but the Stoners product (spray bottle or aerosol) never worked well for me, I prefer Sparkle glass cleaner. Those long handled triangular micro-fiber "as seen on TV" gizmos are pretty good for the interior corners of the windshield too. You use almost no cleaner at all.

For me it was a total waste of money.

Saves the shoulders and the sweat.
No streaks with Sprayway.
(And it's only $2.50 per can at most hardware stores).
I had one of those and I couldn't throw it far enough to get rid of it.
For me it was a total waste of money.

I bought a couple of special cloths from a vendor on here a year or two ago. I don't remember the name of the vendor, or the cloths. But they were specifically for glass. They were fantastic, but lost a lot when I washed them.
I went back to the old way because the cloths were too expensive to use and just throw away.
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.

We offer several cleaners that should produce a streak free finish, from Stoners to Sprayway, to NXT. I find using a Waffle Weave designed towel works extremely well, but should be done outside of direct sunlight and heat, they do need to be handled/cared for seperately however for best uses. Our Glass Master product is great for getting in those hard areas and around the hud on Vettes.

The gases from the heated interior plastic will create a film on interior glass surfaces over time. This is usually one of the major contributors to film on interior glass surfaces, unless you are a smoker.
I use Stoner’s Invisible Glass as my regular glass cleaner and it does well on relatively clean glass, but I have found that it does not work that well on glass with a heavy film. SIG will remove the film but it can be laboring. I have found that NoStreek, glass & silver polish to work better for removing heavy films and if applied properly will leave no streaking. NoStreek is a two-step process; apply, let dry and wipe off.
I will continue to use SIG as my regular glass cleaner, but when it come to removing heavy films, I will get out the NoStreek.

if you don't want to fill your garage with special products for each part of the car, a damp leather chamois is all that is needed, no special liquids and all interior glass comes out streak free including your tinted windows
