The chemical makeup of newspaper changed many, many years ago and therefore is no longer a suitable glass "cleaner" like it was. I would assume that could be where your streaking is coming from.
The trick for glass is to use two waffle weave towels, one for the initial wipe, and one for the final wipe. Using a waffle weave towel limits streaking, I use these Rag Company Dry Me A River Jr but any waffle weave would do.

And for windscreens, you NEED one of these -

I thought these would be a gimmick but this little tool makes getting windscreens clean much, much easier.

I used to HATE cleaning glass, with the right products and towels, it is really quite simple. |
Wow that's some serious tools for some window cleaning
Yeh I've noticed some newspapers have changed, they seem to be a bit more waxy, but some are still ok. I find they give the best results, but you have to give it a final wipe (with newspaper again) after the initial clean. Its the microfibre towels that seems to give smudges or leave marks on there where it becomes visible at night.
Also noticed that windex will leave marks on your dashboard if you don't cover the dash. So now I put a layer of newspaper on the dash before I start cleaning.
I bought a pack of those alcohol based window wipes from one of the auto stores, but they still leave marks or spread the smudge
.
Will give stoner a crack.
