I used the Meguairs Nxt Generation Glass cleaner with a microfiber towel. Invisible glass works well also.

If you still get streaky windows take some newspaper and and crumble it up so its a little softer and wipe your windows after cleaning it.

Ok just a little hijack here. The outside of my front window and drivers side door window has a weird film on it that will not go away. When I run the wipers or some condensation builds up on it you can see where the dealer had written with a grease pencil and a you can see a wired haze. I have tried 3 different glass cleaners and new wipers and it will not go away. Any suggestions?

I use a clean, dry microfiber towel and a generic brand of foam window cleaner. Works pretty good.

I disagree, I've been using it for 10 years now. I think it does a fine job. You only get streak if you half ass wipe it off. Newspapers also help to take care of that. I'm not saying it's the best, but it certainly doesn't suck.

I use a damp chamois on the insides of my windows, gets rid of any streaks. On the outside, I just use regular glass cleaner if I need to.

Though I have noticed that the insides of the windows on this car get foggy a lot faster than on any other vehicle I own. Seems I'm cleaning them every week.
