I use the Armor All wipes, there are new ones for glass and they seem to work good.. expensive though..

Before I used windex and paper towel but it always fogged up my windows and I left fingerprint marks..

search in detailing and you'll find some hints.

Windex is good if you don't have a tint. Beware of ammonia content if you have tint though.

Another good way I read about is a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water. Works great, all natural, and resists streaks.

like whats been sayin, use water solution for inside (tinted)

and if you really dont want streaks use windex and a MICRO FIBRE GLOVE(or cloth). My bro usees that to clean is

MR2 for shows, its part of his detailing supplies.

I think you can get them anywhere, not to sure. ask around.
