I use hot water with Dawn dish soap, and two rags.

One to apply the soapy water, the other to wipe it off.

I have been using Mr. clean magic eraser, and 2 micro fiber towels. First towel to dry windshield, and follow up with another dry towel and it comes out looking pristine.

The 2 answers combine work best for me. First is water, Magic Eraser, scrub and dry with microfiber towel, then use the Invisible Glass window cleaner. The process works great, inside and out! KM

It streaks because you’re just spreading everything around. I first use 70% isopropyl alcohol and do two passes with a clean towel each time. Then I finish with one last pass with invisible glass and then buff with a clean microfiber towel. It gets it perfect every time.

Best so far - Armor All Glass Wipes that I picked up at Walmart. Dust the inside of the glass first. And once it looks clean with the wipes, go over with a damp cloth towel to pick up anything that is left and buff with dry towel. Did this to all our vehicles last fall and it is just now time to do it again.

I have been utterly amazed at how well these work...take your pick from dozens out there, cheap and effective. No chemicals needed, just a few gentle passes across the inside of your glass and you are good to go.

Is that a swiffer? Do you have a link? It's just a hand holding a plastic thing with a green thing on the end. Tried to search but couldn't find anything.
