Default Glass cleaner

What should I use to wash the inside of my windows in my car?? I need something that works really good with NO Streaks or anything.

Anyone have some good suggestions?
I used to work at the Airport and I would wash airplane windows with some plastic cleaner that worked good... but I had to go over the windows like 2-3 times to get the streaks out. The same thing happened with Windex...

If your windows aren't tinted then an ammonia based cleaner is about as good as it gets for consumer stuff. But if the glass is tinted, NO AMMONIA!!

Armour All makes a specific automotive "Glass cleaner" that's safe on tinted windows. If you're getting streaks after cleaning them, make sure your cleaning cloth is clean?

Try water mixed with a little white vinegar. My mom uses that on her Cherokee and it works pretty good. She follows that with newspaper instead of a towel. Sounds strange but it works . Newspaper works for polishing the glass to.

For best results do not clean the glass when its warm. Do it when its cool out, and in the shade.

I have about 5 different glass cleaners in the garage and I have to agree with Blckstang. Vinegar and water produces some killer results. Wife's Grandmother put me on to that one.
Use 2 clothes. One to apply, one to wipe.

I've tried using armorall's window wipes and it worked like crap. It left streaks and lint stuff everywhere. I heard about stoners invisible glass and I tried it out, and it works like bomb. I use it all the time now.

No streaks, no nothing. I bought the spray foam can thing because I couldn't find the one in the regular bottle but I am pretty happy with it.
