what do you guys use to clean your windows with i usually use windex and paper towels but the other day i used generic glass cleaner and it streaked the s*** outta my windows .. the car was in the sun for a little so its probably because it was hot but just in case im missing out on something what do you guys use?
also whats the best buffing method/product?

Get a good microfiber glass cleaning towel. Black Magic makes a really good one (don’t be fooled by imitations, and there are many). Then buy a good glass cleaner designed for automotive glass only! I personally use Armor All glass cleaner, works great! This will solve all your glass cleaning problems.
Martha... out :D

I'm sure it will work. If not for the microfiber glass cleaning towel, an old news paper will do the trick.
What's wrong with Windex and paper towels? It works for me & I don't have streaks. It WILL streak if applied in the the sun or when the glass is warm/hot because it dries before you can remove the residue.
I follow up with Rain X to keep the water off the glass when I'm driving. It's like wax for your glass. The water just blows of when you're moving faster than 20 MPH and you don't need to turn on the wipers.

Windex has alcohol in it and can harden waters spots to a point whereas they won’t go away, especially here in El Paso where it gets over 100 deg for most of the summer. And if you have tint on the windows keep the windex away, it will really mess up the tint job, but to each his own…

Invisible glass works awesome, but dont use paper towels, they are worthless for windows!!! this might sound like a joke but im dead serious. Use Newspaper to clean windows. Crumple a sheet up lightly to about the size of a softball and press firmly while you clean. Dont do it in direct sunlight, just like washing your car.

I am a firm believer in Rain X. It's like crack for your window. You always need it once you tried it!

We use Zep 40 with soft towels. It's an industrial window cleaner and works like a dream..... A friend of ours use to also wax the outside of the windows to keep water spots at a minimum.
