I use the KD cloth. Just dampen it with water, ring it out and clean away. Streak free windows. No cleaners to buy or restock, 100% environmentally friendly. Great for removing bug guts off the front bumper also.

And always use Invisible glass when the inside windows get messy. Windex does not cut the greasy off gas from the interior. Automotive windex, does work better than the reg stuff. Stay away from anything with Ammonia if you have tinted film on your windows.

That newspaper trick is a great one. That's what I do. I had told my receptionist the trick many years ago and then came to work and the hood of the Audi S7 (used to work for Audi) was DESTROYED. She said it was so good on the windows that she used it on the hood. We sent it for a full wet sand. That client has a thin level left on that car....ONLY ON THE WINDOWS
I plan to try this Simonize options too

I always liked newspaper, but sometimes the ink comes off and gets all over. When I was in college I worked in a picture framing shop and we had rolls of Kraft Paper (the brown stuff) which I thought worked really well, but was much heavier. So flash forward a dozen years or so and I was running a print shop, (letterpress & silkscreen) and I started buying bogus paper / newsprint in bulk for test prints and drying as well as wrapping finished prints. It's pretty cheap, no ink, and always on hand:

That's an example. There may be other types out there for less, but a roll of that with a feeder/cutting blade makes for an "always available" option in the garage.

Windshields and auto glass are defiantly an inside and outside thing. I use Invisiglass with a micro fibre cloth for the entire job. The inside is always a challenge. That Mr Clean eraser is something I'm going to try.
I have a new windshield and thought about cleaning it to brand new standard. I'll give the 400 steel wool a test on the passenger side and go from there.

Thanks for all the tips on what works best for you.
