What does everyone recommend for cleaning windows?

On the outside, I use liquid glass. Slap it on, let it haze, and wipe it off. Zero spots and zero streaks, plus you won't need your wipers for months.

i use a small amount of griot's window cleaner (bascially IPA + distilled water) on glass mf towel.

the trick is not so much the detergent, but the towel.

Damp towel then a dry towel right behind it. Do not use windex on your tint.

I have found that the towel you use makes more difference than the product. The right towel with water or any glass cleaner will always give you better results than the wrong towel with even the best glass cleaner
