Right, come on everyone, tell me what the secret is to getting perfect windows. I have tried a number of window cleaning products and none of them seem to be up to the mark, greasyness,streaks etc.
What do you guys use ???

Vinegar, newspaper, and plenty of elbow grease...

a reliable method ^ but for ease of use, I use this

I've used AG fastglass and various other detailer recommended products, but tbh, they're all much of a muchness. I got narked with the grease fastglass seemed to line my screen with.

I found the reason why my windows are never perfect. One week i would use autoglym fast glass, couple of weeks later, autoglym car glass polish, couple of weeks later rainex. With all that already on the windows, anything i used would leave the windows streaky and greasy.
Spoke to a professional detailer who recomenneded a bucket of hot water, a shammy and some paper towel.
Done her today and the results were fantastic. Have to keep doing this until all the previous stuff has been removed. will only use screen cleaner when the windows are really bogin.

Update.
I found a great way of cleaning windows. If you have used rainex, glass polish etc and are tired of windows having streaks, greasyness etc everytime you go to clean them, this is what you should do.
Get a pump action botttle and fill half of it with concentrate screen cleaner ( the type you put into your resoviour bottle for the windscreen washers ), then top it up with water.
Rinse the car with water and then apply the solution to all the windows, let it sit for a minute then wash the car as normal.
When drying the car, use the bucket of warm water and shammy method finishing of with the paper towel and see the results !!!!
Any comments ????

yeah - don't use a shammy.

MF drying towels, FTW - no streaks, no greasyness, no residue.

I always wash the car, then use glass cleaner afterwards.

3M Glass Cleaner!

It's my 'go-to' glass product now.

Clean the car as normal, AutoGlym Car glass cleaner for the mirrors and inside class. Autoglym car polish for the exteriers of the glass.
Gives a nice shine on the out side of the windows and i'm still able to see through them.
