Window Cleaning

I have searched the forums for proper window treatment and found some great advice but off topic.
I just want to get opinions on what type of window cleaner you all use for tinted windows.
I personally like the Invisible Glass, which is found at any local store, you spray it on it foams up and you wipe it off. It never leaves any streaks or spots.
I would also be interested in everyones different techniques. Where you clean (outside, in garage, in shade, etc..) and when during the car cleaning process do you clean the windows?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!!

As far as cleaning windows, it can be done in the garage or in the sun. I'd rather do it in the sun so you can see the imperfections clearer. I usually clean the windows after I wash and dry the car so there is no car wash residue left on the windows. Invisible glass is a great choice, also the meg's nxt glass cleaner is superb.

For what it's worth, I've always liked Spray Way Glass cleaner. Here's a link to it -
http://www.topoftheline.com/glasscleaner.html I can't vouch for the store, but you can see what the can looks like. I've used it for a long time and it works great. Sprays on as a foam, and cleans up pretty streak free. Can be hard to find - but it shows up here and there. Just saw it for sale at the local Honda dealer.

Stoners invisible glass FTW!!! just be careful as it eats away at wax and also eats away at the RainX stuff too.

I like them both - I feel Sprayway foams up better and doesn't run as much as Stoners. As far as cleaning abilities, IMO both are equal and you can't go wrong with either one. I found Sprayway on sale at the local supermarket for $2 each. Yea, I stocked up. Costco or Sam's (not sure) carries IG from time to time, 3 cans for $10.

I use the stoners liquid.

Spray product onto bounty paper towel. Rub like hell. Then, get clean and dry paper towel, rub like hell till all liquid gone. Repeat.

I don't want to be spraying that stuff directly on my car, particularly inside. Added benefit is product goes much farther.

For whatever reason, my microfibers leave tiny fibers behind on the outside of the windows, so I use paper towels. No scratching on glass.

you could try using a newspaper instead of paper towels too, alot of people don't realize news paper is a great way to clean your windows and I'm plus one with the stoners IG.
