After struggling with this for years, I finally have a solution that works fantastic for me resulting in crystal clear glass with no film or smears.
I use Stoner "Invisible Glass Cleaner" with a windows-specific green MF towel.
The key is that the first time you use the windows-specific MF towel, it doesn't work very well until it gets damp after the first use. Once the MF towel becomes damp and completely saturated, you only need a little window cleaner for great results!
The windows-specific MF towel is a finer texture than other MF towels that you use for detail spray or waxing/polishing. I usually hang mine up after cleaning my windows and it stays damp for the next time I need it.
I have about 5 of them and then wash them all together after they get dirty, which is not often.

I use a glass cleaner from Adam's Polishes. Works great.

I've had good results using a damp "real" chamois. I have been using Griot's Foaming Glass Cleaner on the outside part of the windows only (too much over spray to use inside imo). Going to try the special MF.

I use Stoners Invisable Glass and a micro fiber towel.

Another vote for Stoner's Invisible Glass. I apply it with a microfiber towel, then use a second mf towel to finish the process. When the second towel begins to "drag" or pull across the glass with resistance, you're done.

I use ________________ insert your favorite cleaner in blank space. Then micro-fiber towels and rub like crazy then, I do it again with less cleaner. I favor doing this with bright sun beaming through the glass from the front. I go back a third time and touch up any spots I've missed.

Vinegar/water/liquid dish soap/newspaper....
1/4 cup vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon liquid soap or detergent, and 2 cups of water in a spray bottle. Shake to blend, spray on your windows, wipe it down!
old-school...works for me... :thumb
Of course RainX on exterior windshield!!

It's absolutely the best way to wash a window.But I do get lazy sometimes and use invisiglass with newspaper.
