Default Cleaning Glass

How do you guys do this? I usually use the Windex Auto stuff and some microfiber rags and a towel. However, my windshield, despite these efforts and like 30 minutes trying to clean them, has slight little water spots to it. They show up a lot at night. What do you guys use and how do you go about cleaning the windows, inside and out? I thought about that Invisiglass in the aerosal cans. What works for you guys?

I use This (http://www.autogeek.net/mg12001.html) Glass Cleaner, Its a powerful cleaner and never leaves streak, I use Microfiber towels.

I would try and ClayBar the windows first and see if that helps, some of the water spots

Stoner's should be my brand. But I use some 3M stuff. ACDelco part #992727 is also very good.

Water spots on the outside seem easier to eliminate then inside streaks IMO

Stoner's Invisible glass - I kinda like the aerosol can the best.

A super fine steel wool like 0000 will take off any water spots and grime without hurting your glass. I use Sprayaway glass cleaner. It comes in a white and blue aerosol can with a maid on the front. The stuff works awesome. The trick is to use one towel to do the cleaning and another dry one to wipe off the excess moisture so it doesnt streak. I usually go over the windshield two times and the side windows just once. For some reason the windshield gets really greasy and streaks if you just clean it once.

I use Stoner's Invisible Glass. Works great for me. And I found a six pack of the cans at Costco.
