    I have tried so many glass cleaners. One day I was was having Huper Optic Ceramic Tint installed by their master tech. I asked him what he used. He said he would give me his secret recipe. You have to use a microfiber designed for glass cleaning. I like The Rag Company for this. Here is the recipe

    Fill a quart spray bottle with distilled or Reverse Osmosis water
    Add 3 drops of Lemon Joy dish-washing liquid (must be the ordinal and this brand)
    3 cap fulls of rubbing alcohol

    I really haven't found anything that works better and its very economical. I am curious to your experience with this recipe

    As previously recommended here--Prist windscreen cleaner and The Ultimate Cloth is awesome and I've tried all the others.
    Also good is Auto Finesse glass cleaner with microfiber glass cleaning cloth

    The most important thing about cleaning glass is the material you wipe the product off with so microfiber or similar is a must. Personally I find the foam glass cleaners with microfiber to work best, but I'm going to try the OP's recommendation when my OCD is fired up.

    I use the double ‘E-cloth‘ method. Water is all you need on the first cloth, the second cloth is used dry. Works on many surfaces. Crystal clear every time with minimal effort. Search E-cloth on web....

    call me crazy but unless it's getting caked bugs off or similar, just plain water and elbow grease works better than just about anything I've tried when it comes to a nice streak free finish.

    you're probably right, but MORE importantly---do you drive or operate a Zamboni?

    I’m a Sonax guy. I buy glass cleaner by the 2.5 gallon jug. But I’ll give this a whirl, thanks for the heads up!
