I usually use windex and newspaper, gives the best results, but not really convenient when you need to give a quick wipe whilst on the road.
I would recommend getting something alcohol based for glass cleaning as the ammonia in Windex can cause damage to automotive plastics unless extreme care is taken. Most automotive glass cleaners are safe for interiors and window tinting. For me, Stoner Invisible Glass is hard to go past and
is decently priced.

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.
