Streaking isn't caused by the product as much as a lack of a proper removal of the said product. That's why I link'd the towels on the previous page. Stoner makes a fine window cleaner that's available virtually anywhere, Sprayway is a common professional option. Personally, I prefer the Surf City Garage product, but none will allow for the expected results without proper removal. Good luck.

I use 50/50 alcohol w/ distilled water after using glass cleaner. Removes that chemical sheen that a lot of cleaners leave behind.

so the "stoner" and/or the "sprayway" would be good for the inner surface of windows as well right?

Newspapers work great, not sure why, but they work.

you sure it's not the inside window that's streaky?

anyways, i use the same cleaner as the one you pour in the windshield washer reservoir. spray on and i use newspaper to wipe it off. then i use a clean dry microfiber towel to buff the already dry window/windshield.

Stoner or Sprayway. Honestly it's the cloth you're using that makes the difference. You could have the best cleaner in the world on a crappy, dirty cloth and it will streak. You could also use a crappy cleaner on a good towel and get nice results... point is; get good towels for paint, glass, wheels, etc... I have crappy MF towels used for wheel wells and other dirty stuff that would never touch paint or glass and I have towels specifically for glass that don't get dirty. I clean the bugs and junk off with a basic MF towel used for quick detailing then go back with the clean one for nice streak-free shine. I also have towels for final gloss wipe on the paint that never see air until it's time to clean that paint
