Default Window Cleaners?

What are ya'll using to clean your windows? I've been using the old stand-by, Windex, but it leaves a residue regardless of how much I wipe/rub.

Windex and NEWSPAPER.. Leaves the windows spotless with no residue.. An old trick from the old time window cleanders of New York.. There is something in the newsprint that just does an amazing job on glass.. No streaks .. Just super clean glass..

ding ding, typicly just ammonia free windex, never had a problem with it...

on the outside I wash it with the car, and I might go back over it with windex if its not clean.

Agreed.

Stoner's Invisible glass works nice with a MF towel. You can get in any auto parts store for under $5. It sprays like an aerosol can FYI. also works well with crumpled newspaper

SuperCloth & Water. I've posted about it earlier. Better than Microfiber.

Thumbs up

I use griotsgarage.com window cleaner

It cleans so well that it will even remove that damn windex stuff off the windows.

When cleaning with griots garage window cleaner, I can clean in half the normal time and it stays cleaner longer.

I also use 100% cotton towels or just cotton paper towels, either work with griots

Yeah they hangout in late night artsy coffee bars or you'll see them often in the del taco drivethru at 3am or so.

I picked up some stoners invisible glass from pepboys a few weeks ago.
