A while back my wife bought some Armor All Auto Glass cleaner, have used it a few times, but pretty much every time it streaks or leaves a haze that has to be buffed out.

Though I do love the Invisible Glass Reach tool for cleaning the inside windows, just need to find a good glass cleaner.

I imagine there are better glass cleaners out there, what do you guys use?

You (kinda) said it yourself, the invisible glass cleaner

I use two microfiber towels, one to clean, one to buff. No streaks

I like either invisible glass, or castle glass cleaner.

If you keep getting streaks or haze, you might be using too thin of a microfiber or using too much product. Try to use just a slightly damp microfiber, a dry one to buff, and make sure the glass isn't hot.

Currently I use the adams Aerosol Glass cleaner. To me, it to clean the windows faster and more efficiently than their liquid glass cleaner.

I use Stoners in the spray bottle, or Megs pro line that comes in the gallon jug. (number escapes me)

Thank you Joe for that video. Looks like I've got some interior windows on two cars to clean tomorrow.

When using the Magic Eraser or IPA on the interior, lay a towel down on the dash to catch any solution that drips off. This will prevent any stains on your dash.

Be sure to clean the exterior really good first! I use an SM Arnold speedy prep towel instead of clay. Any clay alternative will work though.

I've used Stoner Glass Cleaner for years and it works great. Every month or so I will clay the glass but I don't wax it. For me, claying it works well enough.

I think it's worth the time to apply protection to your windshield after claying.

For 10 minutes of time for application/removal, I get ease of cleaning on future maintenance washes because bugs don't stick, increased visibility in rain, and prevention of ice build up in the winter so I don't have to scrape the windshield.

I hear ya, but in all honesty even without the protection it works for me.
