My windshield has STREAKS GALORE...
I use the good old windex and newspaper but all it does is make the windows look worse than it was before, i mean streaks so bad you can barely see when the sun is shining on them, what am i doing wrong?

Windex is not a good cleaner for your car's windows. The ammonia in it makes the windows streak. Also, the thing about the newspapers is that in the old days the ink would act as a polish, but now most newspaper inks are water-based so they don't work like they used to. Try a dedicated auto glass cleaner and a good, lint-free microfiber cloth for wiping your windows - that should help. Good luck!

Otherwise, I prefer a vinegar-based cleaner.
Using anything ammonia-based on tinted windows is a definite no-no anyway.

Stoners makes a great window cleaner. Helpful tip: When cleaning windows, use up and down strokes on outside of window and use left to right strokes on inside. That way you know if youre streaking problem is on the inside or on the outside.
