What is the best automotive glass cleaner? I got a very stubborn film on the inside of my windshield that Windex wont cut. It seems to move it around some, but it won't remove it. I have streaks all over the inside of the windshield and they are horrible when driving into the sun, etc.
Best glass cleaner to get film off interior of windshield?

I've had trouble with window cleaners causing streaks. you can try using ammonia and water. What I find work best is a barely damp towel. I use the towel I dried with just after a shower. That's just damp enough, window is squeaky clean after.

I was a happy Invisible Glass user, until I tried Sprayway. This stuff works.

Meguiar's Perfect Clarity. Nothing else works as well.

I have used various glass cleaners, just requires two separate cleanings each with a separate clean reg. I use paper towels so I can just get a clean set for when I clean it a second time.

This. I use the microfiber towel I dry my car with. Then I dry with a fresh towel.

If you use microfiber or terry towels that have been laundered, be sure not to dry them using fabric softener. The softener residue on the towel will remain on the windshield.
Mr Clean Miracle Eraser and any glass cleaner will work like a charm!
Another vote for Sprayway. I used GM glass cleaner when I worked for the dealer and got an employee discount. I moved to Buffalo and they use Castle, also great stuff. I used lint free towels I bought on Amazon.
The solution that completely works every time for me is dish soap! That greasy film is supposedly caused from off gassing from the materials in your car collecting on your windshield. Either way, it seems greasy so that led me to use dish soap and I'm so glad I thought of it!
1. Wipe the windshield thoroughly with a wet microfiber with a little liquid dish soap - like 3 drops of dawn.
2. Wipe with a clean wet microfiber.
3. Dry with a clean microfiber.

I never used the vinegar but the old newspaper works great! Something about the ink I'm told.
Keep using new sheets as you're working. I use it with Windex. Clean and reclean a second time. Streak free.

The problem with that is that they don't make old newspaper anymore. Now if you have some old newspaper in the basement with the historic headlines like Man Lands on The Moon, then you could use that.
