The Scott don't leave much lint behind and they have wavy ridges to help clean .
Glass polishing towels that are used in fine dining restaurants for wine glasses. Use your regular choice of microfiber towel to clean the glass before using these. If you ever need to clean the towel, just rinse it out with hot water, no detergent.
I am using these and they work great.

While I only do this twice a year, I still swear by this for truly crystal clear glass:
It's the cleanest I've gotten automotive glass in the 30+ years of detailing my cars.

I fill a bucket with about 2 quarts of warm/hot water. Add a drop or two per quart of dawn dish detergent and mix it up a bit. I then use two micro fiber cloths. I saturate one of them for cleaning and use the other for drying.
I had a co-worker suggest this method to me and it works streak free.

I used this today on 2ea family member’s windshields and it works pretty good. I already had it on hand, I didn’t go out and purchased it specifically.
Ink is now printed with soy ink and not recommended for cleaning, especially on vehicles. It took me repeated attempts to get my grandmother to stop using newspapers to clean her windows. Microfiber towels with an automotive window cleaner. Many home window cleaners aren't made to deal with vinyl fog or automotive tint.
I use invisible glass and the cheap tear-off blue micro fibertowel roll from walmart that's rough. Windshield requires usually at least 3 towels per side, one for cleaning the visible grime off, one to follow up with the smaller grime, and the last for streaks and missed spots. Additional as needed. Once they are used, they go into the used towel bag - I do not reuse any towels for windows. Smooth and silky towels do not work as well as the cheap rough ones and in my experience leaves a lot of residue and streaks behind.
Paper towels work well too but with the amount of pressure I press they tend to tear a lot unless I use like 4 sheets.
I do not use normal windex or anything with ammonia in it.

Meguiars perfect clarity glass cleaner, is the only cleaner of about 50 I've tried, that truly cleans the windshield to perfection.
Use a good micro fiber towel, and you'll be amazed.
I can't even count how many other things I tried, and tossed in the garbage. Being a truck driver, it was really important to me, to have cleanest glass possible.

I'd also add that wiping the dash and using a sealant will not only make the dash look better but it will keep the vinyl fog from adhering to the inside of the windshield. Vinyl fog also gives moisture something to stick to causing interior fogging to get worse. I was told it's a similar effect to clouds. If a cloud has almost no particulates it makes it difficult for rain to form.
Yep I use distilled whit vinegar and distilled water. Our water is notorious for water spots.
I worked pizza delivery at night for a while back in the day and we used Windex and scrunched up newspaper to clean glass from inside as pizza would emit greasy steam that settled on glass. Paper towels also work great.
