    I normally use Poorboy`s Spray & Wipe for general window cleaning. For polishing exterior glass and plastic, Poorboy`s Pro Polish or ClearKote Vanilla Moose work well.

    Blue surgical (huck) towels work wonders. Sometimes if glass has a film buildup, will use denatured alcohol mixed 1:10 with water.

    KleenFreak, Are you dealing with a particular symptom at this time, or just a general question?

    Stoners and a Mega Plush Towel from Poorboy`s for me

    On heavy duty crud, I have used Pro Polish, SSR2, and Meg`s DACP with success.

    This is the method I use to clean interior windows:
    1- Apply window cleaner, such as Stoners Invisible Glass directly to a towel. Do not spray the glass, as the over-spray could reach other interior surfaces.
    2- Using the towel, proceed to clean the inside of the windshield, the interior windows and interior mirrors.
    3- It’s usually a good idea to clean the inside of the front windshield a second time.
    4- Using a clean dry towel, thoroughly wipe interior glass a second time. This step will help remove any remaining streaks.

    This is the method I use to clean exterior windows:
    1- Apply window cleaner directly to a towel. Do not spray the glass.
    2- Using the towel, proceed to clean the outside of the windshield.
    3- To remove bug and road residue from the windshield, apply window cleaner to the scrubbing side of a sponge. Scrub windshield thoroughly and clean again with window cleaner and a towel.
    4- Clean all exterior windows and mirrors.
    5- Using a clean dry towel, thoroughly wipe exterior glass a second time.

    Whatever product and towels you do chose to use....

    on the inside, work side to side -- on the outside work up and down (or vise-versa)

    This helps locate the streaks when they appear.

    For me, I prefer to use Auto Magic RTU. (It might not be the cheapest, but from my experience using it for 15+ years, 45 cents of product is worth more to me than $2 worth of labor)

    That sounds like very good advice!

    If you use Stoners and a mf I don`t think you`lll have streaks. Sounds crazy huh? But that has been my experience. No streaks, none, zilch, narry a one. Sometimes a missed spot but NO streaks. Stoners Invisible glass and mf. After I get them clean I just spray them with Spay & Wipe and wipe clean with a mf while I"m doint the rest of the truck...daily or almost daily.

    Whatever you use spray it on the mf when doing interior windows. Saves spotting your dash, upholstery, etc.
    Dream big and be willing to do the work to get there.

    It sounds like Stoners is the product to try. Is Stoners a generally good product? I have never tried it before.
