Default Inside Windshield Cleaning

Anyone know a good way to clean the inside of the windshield. I tried windex and similar glass cleaners but it just leaves streaks and smears. It's not that big of a deal, it just pisses the crap out of me when the sun shines through the glass and you can see ever mark/streak etc...

Its mainly because your car is hot...wait until it cools down, and use a really soft rag. You shouldn't get any streaks.

If there is no tint, definitly try an ammonia-based aerosol cleaner. I sell a ton of it to a local car wash. They love it

I had major issues myself since I bought my 06....finally talked to a detailer and he told me straight up all he uses is....

Water.

I took a damp shammy and wet down the window and then a dry microfiber towel to "buff" out.....no streaking whatsoever.

they sell window wipes at your local car shop or walmart/kmart deal

work wonders for me, but +1 on the hot window topic

if its been in the sun for a while, park it in a garage to cool it down or it will definatly streak
