use newspaper next time instead, trust me on this. it doesnt leave lint and cleans it streak free. i use this glass cleaner stuff that sprays out foam, can be had at ur local autoparts store.

you guys are being serious about the newspaper then? I'm curious why the ink on the newspaper doesn't smear. not to jack the thread but what would you guys use to get off years of hard water spots?

try clay bar or even waxing/buffing the window with orbital or high-speed buffer. chances are you wont be able to get them off. i see it all the time on trade-ins and used cars at work. its worth a shot

What I do is kinda double the work but the result is the best:

1. Use a damp wet cloth and clean windows once with a 100% cotton cloth
2. make sure they are completely dry and then use "Armorall Window Wipes"

No streaks whatsoever, even at night when assholes are flashing their high beams at the back of your windshield
