Glass Cleaner what`s your fav?

After using many I bought Sprayway once and use it exclusively. It`s cheap, available at the grocery store, and works better than any other......what more could I ask for?
 
Interior glass of dog-haulers- Zep40. Keep it off the interior materials like vinyl/leather. I also like it for salt-film in the winter, but I find aerosol products like that tough to control overspray-wise and I don`t want to strip the surrounding LSP.
 
Kind of amazing the number of different glass cleaners and methods we have to clean glass. Just shows that "there is more than one way to skin a cat". I`m going to try some rinseless washes and see how they do. Thanks for all the input.

When I rinseless wash a car, I also go over the exterior windows and don`t bother doing them with dedicated window cleaner. They`re left clean by the rinseless.

I tried a good handful:

Armor All - Prior to Autopia. I just got something cheap on a pinch. But honestly, this one isn`t bad.
Megs Perfect Clarity - At the time, I was trying to stay withing Megs line. But I found this one to be too much work. Streaking and multiple passes, not sun friendly, etc.
Mothers ReVision - Got a free sample at some car meet. LOVED this. So much, I bought a case of it to save a few bucks.
Windex: yeah
3D`s window cleaner - Loved Mothers so much, I have a gallon of this waiting for me at the store (I got it free with rewards). Haven`t bothered to pick it up
Megs D120 - In recent months, I`ve found myself wanting to clean windows more frequently. ReVision was NOT going to be cost efficient. D120 fits that bill. It`s a pleasure to work with, LOVE the scent, and such an amazing value. It`s become my go-to cleaner.

I forget what else I have on my shelves. A couple of others. Oh, something from Rain-X. Was telling my friend this morning that next time he`s in town, he can have my almost new bottle. Too much of a hassle for no perceived benefits.
 
I love the Megs Perfect Clarity.
I think we all used Windex at one point or another, I do not anymore.
Recently stopped using Stoners for the Megs
Have 3D on a buy one get one sale, haven`t used it yet
Have Poorboys World glass cleaner that I haven`t use yet either, but am kind of excited for after hearing so many good things.
I also want to try the 1Z after reading a recent thread

3D 50:1 Glass Cleaner. Cuts through smoke, grease, haze and you can do streak free windows even with less than ideal light. The first wipe after spraying leaves a grabby film on the window that you can feel as you start the second wipe. As the film is removed the glass becomes super slick so you know any streaks are gone even if you can`t see them. A 16 oz bottle is only $8 and all you need is .5 OZ mixed with 24 OZ of distilled water (optional) for a ready to use solution. Works out to about 35 cents per bottle of rtu.

I may try this stuff. I`m always fighting streaks. Often the glass looks good into until I get in the sun then I see the streaks. I always thought that was a technique thing and I`ve been working on that (buying glass specific towels and using more than one towel) but I`ll try any product that helps eliminate streaks.
 
Glad to see some people admitting they`ve done OK with Windex. I have an *old*, like...from the `90s, bottle of their pink version ("Country Garden Potourri" scent, ammonia-free formula) that I inherited and the stuff is amazingly good! I`ve almost used it all up now and I`ll miss it when it`s gone, performs as well as my "good stuff".

Everyone has their own favorites, but I`ve found Surgical Huck towels to work the best on glass. They have a visible weave in the fabric that seems to cut through anything including the streaks.
 
Some cleaners may not streak but look hazy later. Like if I clean a house window or sliding door glass may look great initially but later it looks hazy not to me streaky. Just like a film or cloudiness

What is that issue anyone know ? Like need an additional wipe or clean a second time.

When I get streaks it is usually my fault for using too much product and not getting all of it off. Sometimes less is more.
 
Here in Australia i use Autoglym Fast Glass. Its expensive when bought over the counter eg around $8 USD per 500ml. However i can get it in bulk 5L container for under $20 USD.
Autoglym Fast Glass cleans very well, no streaks. Its not super strong but for regular use its cheap as chips. I use 2 towels, double clean, box method and its perfect. The 2nd spray is followed by wipe with a soft super absorbent waffle weave towel. This i find this leaves no streaks at all.
Im keen to try Amour All glass cleaner but that on a retail level is expensive (as all car care products are in Australia).
Cheers
 
PoweredByJenga- Ah, another good Autoglym product! I bet their stuff is much more common in your locale than it is in the States.

Oh, and I like that expression "cheap as chips".
