Best way to clean windows..
I found out the other day, is to use some form of window cleaner and instead of wiping it off with a towel or cloth you use newspaper. sometimes some of it breaks off when it gets too wet but I just brush it off with a lint free cloth. absolutely no streaks whatsoever.

I mix half and half rubbing alcohol with windex and use paper towels to clean my windshield. I do it twice so I can get that oil off from there. It works great and leaves no streaks cuz the alcohol dries so fast...

I use a blue lint free rag and some "tint safe" window cleaner, works great. I used to use newspapers, but the wind kept blowing away the pages

RainX'ing a window makes it easier to clean...a lot easier. For tinted windows, RainX makes an ammonia free window cleaner which is virtually streak free. For untinted windows and especially window washer fluid, Prestone makes a green fluid which removes bugs and tar with just the spray. On untinted windows I have used a diluted solution for the exterior since it is so good although I generally go with RainX.

If you get any kind of ammonia on the tint, the adhesive that holds tint on will no longer be "sticky".. and the tint will bubble/fall off
