What I've done that has worked extremely well...
1. Inside or outside, wife has some 'green' glass cleaner. All natural, no harsh chemicals, that stuff works amazingly well. Zero streaks.
2. Inside - just wipe the interior glass down with a cotton towel. No cleaner required. Gets them very clean.
3. Outside - Meguiar's Quick Detailer. Seems to be a very good streak-free method of cleaning glass.
YMMV,
Barry

I cleaned all my windows with windex but that left tons of streaks. Does anyone have any tips on how to get them nice and clean?

I use Stoners Invisible Glass, always in the shade. I will spray and wipe down all the windows inside and out with a high quality microfiber. Then, when I have completed that first pass, I will use a clean microfiber to wipe down the remaining residue, and a spray with water will help on the stubborn spots.
Believe it or not, newspaper is great too - but I don't use it anymore.
Also, I wouldn't use vinegar on windows, fearing I may forget and use it on a tint. Newspapers wouldn't be a great idea on tint either, so I recommend my main method over all of those. Oh, and don't use anything with ammonia, it will destroy your tint. This includes Windex.
