wipe down with newspaper(joke) then a microfibre, a clean cloth or 3 is the key tbh as you hold a cloth the grease/oil from your hands transfers to the cloth, so as you turn the cloth it goes on the windows, you may not see it until the windows steam up but its there, so 2 cloths to wipe off.

I can`t believe how much some people pay for glass cleaner How clean can you really get glass? I use Kleeneze Natural Window Cleaner with vinegar for a few quid. My widows are spotless....how can you get cleaner than spotless

I admit I used to use Mr Muscle or "Wizz" window cleaner and it was fine.
However I was given an Autoglym gift pack the other year as a gift and it included cream glass polish, and I have to admit it does do the job really nicely. Especially on a warm sunny day when if using sprays the glass dries before you have chance to wipe it.

If your finding the AutoGlym Glass Polish dusting, your using too much.
2 cloths, one for putting it on, one for removing (buffing)
I use a glass polish (for really dirty glass) and a glass cleaner (spray) for just dirty glass.
Do the outside glass up/down, the inner side to side (or other way around) and that way you will see if you have missed any.
If its smearing, you have put too much on.

Dont use glass polish if you have aftermarket tints though, probably stating the obvious but it'll scuff it to hell. I used to be a fan of autoglym glass polish but it is very dusty, regardless of how sparingly it's used. I use maxolen glass polish now, it's every bit as good as autoglym but without the dust and it'll also take out minor scuffs from glass and hazing from light lens covers if used with a machine polisher

I have used maxolen, prefer AG. But each to their own
