Window cleaner and newspaper. Cloths always seem to leave smudges or leave a hazy look in certain light even when turning over to a clean portion of the cloth.

Newspaper is by far the best way to clean any kind of glass no lint left behind and no streaks.

While newspaper works decent, it by no means the best way. Microfiber cloths made specifically for glass are where its at, way better than newspaper, which used to be my old go to for glass

+1 for MF made for glass. Make sure its the one made for glass though, or you'll have lint all over your windows when you're done.

While on this topic...anybody using anything they like more than Stoners these days?

Best glass cleaner? Stoners Invisable Glass

My window tint guy turned me onto it. Use MF towels and Invisible glass.

This stuff will not harm tinted windows.
