window streaks!

Ok so I am a bit OCD when it comes to windows. I can clean them all day long but it seems like I always leave a glare behind. For instance, when your driving at night and drive under a street light and hits it right you can see the swirls from where you cleaned it.

Any preferences on window cleaner or what you use to clean them with?

I almost forgot, last week someone told me to wipe auto windows with dryer sheets, you know those anti-static things you throw in the dryer. Haven't tried it yet.
