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

You guys are spending too much money. I use a small spray battle with a table spoon of distilled vinegar. It will clean a window like nobody's business. Tint safe also. I got the trick from the guy that tints my windows. Been using this for years.

yuk. i hate the smell of vinegar. reminds me of english vinegar potatochips. i did that years ago and just went with dilluted IPA.. (aka griot's Window Cleaner) much better, no smell.

but again, the trick is mostly in the towel you use.
