This ^^ along with many of the other suggestions, although I don't use paper towels. I prefer lint free paint prepping wipes, disposable so no washing chemicals to worry about and they are very soft. They are white, and you will not get streak free until you can wipe that window and have them stay perfectly white. Then wipe again with another clean towel.

Honestly though my biggest problem is how awkward it is to get into all of the corners. The back window might even be worse than the front!

I cleaned it yesterday with windex and a "window" microfiber. It seemed to work OK but it still isn't perfect. Can't stand the film and lint that just attaches itself to the window.

Nothing cleans glass better than Windex and newspaper. Start with a damp or wet cotton towel to
remove most of the film. Then follow up with Windex and newspaper and any streaks will be gone.
Old fashioned and guaranteed.
Laugh away, I just hope you're using ammonia-free Windex product.

I learned about using newspaper when i was in Marine boot camp. It worked fine. I still prefer to use invisible glass and a towel for windows. I'm so OCD that if I get smudges or anything on my windows I will pull over and clean them. Carrying newspaper in my car would be to troublesome.
