So, what *is* the best windscreen cleaner?
Buy a new or used car from a dealer and the inside of the windscreen is crystal clear.
Clean the screen yourself and get streaks and smears.
I have tried:
Newspaper
Vinegar
Iso-Propul alcolhol
Nail varnish remover
Windolene
Nilfisk
Mr. Sheen
and a wheel-barrow full of other stuff all with the same bad result.
So, guys, what's yor secret...?

Griot's Garage has the best window cleaner I've used. It gets the windows squeaky clean. It comes in liquid form, but I use the wipes, so you don't get any overspray on the dash, etc.:

And their lint free towels also work great:

For the most part, their products aren't cheap, but it's a great place for specialty car care products like these.

I have tried many different cleaning prducts but the biggest break through came when I recently found some microfibre cloths designed specifically for glass. They have a much tighter weave and they work incredibly well.

Once again Stream hits the nail on the head!! The only thing I can add is I recently added Griot's Garage microfiber windsheild towels to "buff" galss after cleaning wipes and lint free towels. Really get them clean and s-t-r-e-a-k free.
