just about anything you use is gonna leave a bit of a haze. so after you wash the windows, wait a few minutes for them to dry and haze over and then just rub them with a dry microfiber to take the haze off and they will likely be factory clear. 
worked every time for me so far, and took me several years to figure out.

Here is my 2 cents. IMO my windows are as close to perfect as I have seen. 5 car shows 7 awards, must be doing somthing right
Need
Stoners invisible glass
Gariots Cotton Polishing Cloths LINK
Procedure
I fold the cloth in half and then half again (so you have a 8"x 8" surface. I do the outside first (must be dry) I spray a little of the stoners on 1/2 the windshield (12" circle). Work that in with the cloth getting all the edges. Flip the cloth over and buff just like you finished waxing. I move to the side window and using the other side wipe it down (I do not apply more stoners since that side should still be damp from the windshield) flip the cloth over to the dry side and buff again. Move to the hatch glass, spray more stoners (12" circle) on the glass and work it in with the damp side of the cloth. Flip over to the dry side and buff. Repeat the other half of the outside. Once you are done with the outside unfold and refold the cloth so you have new dry surfaces. When doing the inside I only spray on the cloth directly and not on the glass. Use the same method wipe with the damp side buff with the dry and you will be amazed. Buffing is the key and I have tried many others but stoners is the best IMO. Also for some reason these cloths work best and I don't like Micro fiber for this.
PS: if you have water spots you need to treat them first with some vinegar and water.

I have found Meguiars and a microfibre towel have done better than anything else I have used. No streaks like windex does.

Rejex is great, but not for cleaning windows. I use just plain old HOT WATER. Use as hot as you can stand, on a lint free cloth, wring out cloth,wipe windows, and dry with a microfiber towel. This has worked the best for me, and I have used Stoner, Windex, etc,etc.....
