Autoglym Glass Polish and Cleaner.

Or a home remedy, warm soapy water dabbed a US made terry towel and dry with newspaper. Newspaper will not leave any lint residue on the glass and the ink actually acts like a polish on the glasses surface.

Unfortunately you have to order Autoglym online, as it's imported from England. It's not expensive at all, around 8 bucks before shipping:

It's by far the best stuff I have ever used.

Stoner invis glass is the **** if you need a pic tell me I have like 4 cans here

Also, you dont use ANYTHING besides newspaper or BROWN paper towels that are ******* razor thin on a window. The reason - They only soak what is necessary, and leave NO residue or lint. Newspaper is a VERY good investment for car window cleaning this stuff is the top of the line stuff! Even on outside windows, 2 coats and it is like looking into a BRAND NEW window no ****!

Not really, only very few metals "scratch" windows. Hint : Women use glass to see if diamonds are real...
