What do you guys use to clean your windows?? No matter how hard I try they ALWAYS look horrible after I'm done. Yesterday was the worst because They honestly looked worse than before I did them. I used to use "G.M. Glass Cleaner" which I got when I work at a G.M. Dealership. That stuff was Da bomb, probably the best product they have, including the cars. But I ran out and don't feel like going back there to get more. I probably will, but I hate paying for it. I used, I think it was called Eagle One 20/20 and newspaper to wipe it off, (incase you guys might be unaware, for cleaning windows with good glass cleaner newspaper is awesome) and it looked awful I worked on my windsheild for probably 15 minutes before I gave up.
What do you guys suggest??

not that its for cleaning your windows but I put this stuff on called rain-X and this shit is the bomb, any water just beads off and dries in seconds without any streaks. maybe they sell it at crap tire. for cleaner I would call a window tinting place and see what they use cuz its gotta be good or else it will screw up the tint.

If you have tinted windows you need an amonia free cleaner like 20/20. On the tinted side. Use Windex and newspaper on the rest.
Here's how I do mine.(inside the car)
Tinted portions.
1. Use a damp cloth to clean most of the dirt and grime.
2. Wipe dry with a soft cloth.
3. Get a wad of newspaper (no colors, and less writing is better, the classifieds seem to work best.)
4. Spray a SMALL amount of Eagle 20/20 on the newspaper and wipe the window down.(careful not to scratch the tint with any sharp edges from the newspaper or rings and watches)
Non-Tinted portions.
1. Use wad of newspaper again.
2. Spary a small amount of Windex on the newspaper.
3. Wipe windows down.
4. Get a dry piece of newspaper and wipe away any streaks left behind.
One you use the newspaper for one window throw it away.
It does take time but for the inside windows I only clean them like evey month or so. The outside I just wipe dry after washing the car.

I use Eagle One 20/20, it works great with out leaving streaks.I just spray it on and wipe off with quality paper towels.
As for the rain x I use green washer fluid from crappy tread and it does the same and lasts alot longer. Every time you spray the windshield it reapllies and works great in the winter too. Every thing beads away.
