Everyone has their own lil carwash routine that he/she does religously everytime we wash our cars. Everyone list what you do & the products you use.
Step 1:
Self serve carwash using just soap, water & spot free.
Step 2:
Leave car wet & spray on about a half bottle of eagle one wax as you dry. Then I dry the car using an absorber
Step 3:
I clean my rims. I use Llyods chrome & glass cleaner. Its the best on chrome as far as an easy application. Just spray it on & let it haze. Wipe off to a mirror finish.
Step 4: Tire shine. I use mcguires stuff. I forget the name but its purple & smells good!
Step 5: I use mcguires next generation spray on wax. I do the whole car & then wipe it off using a microfiber towel. This really makes it shine!
Step 6: Clean my windows.

I use my +3 Pouch of Dirt Vanishment, then have Rick come over and cast his Invisible Barrier spell. Rick, honestly, I think the pointy hat and bath robe with stars and moons drawn on it are a little silly though!

newspaper works great for streaks! On the inside I usually just use a microfiber towel and water. New interiors will leach fumes from the material/plastics for quite a while and will leave a film on the inside. If you park inside, leave the windows cracked a little to help alleviate some of the film. Armorall makes a glass cleaner in a towelette form. Works pretty well for getting the gunk off, but I follow up with a microfiber towel and polish it to get rid of the streaks.
I just bought some Zaino Glass cleaner and it works awesome as a polish/cleaner, but is a little dusty.

I have tried just about all the spray on type glass cleaners - Windex, Stoner's Invisible Glass, 3M Foam glass cleaner, etc. and I always ended up with streaks.
I now use the Zaino Glass Polish. It is truly streak free - it goes on like a liquid wax or polish. You rub it on with a cloth, wait for it to dry and then buff it off. It is a bit more work than the spray on stuff, but well worth it. Just don't use it on your side mirrors. The polish has some mild abrasives in it and it will put some small scratch marks on the mirrors (don't ask me why I know this)

Jeff, have you tried it on the inside yet?
p.s. all of the Zaino products are scented...I believe the glass polish is mint...mmmmmm

I have not used it on the inside due to the aforementioned dust. Like you I use a wet rag or a little windex for the inside glass and use a microfiber towel to get the streaks off.

If your looking for a cheap and honestly decent way to clean glass try just picking up a gallon jug of SPLASH window wash for 99cents and tell me if you don't think that for less than a buck it don't work great!! Just pick up a spray bottle and your done and if you don't like what it does for your windows then just dump it in the washer reservoir!! Hope that helps DC

best chrome cleaner hands down thats some what quick (believe me, ive tried them all) is a brand called Lloyds glass cleaner. They only sell it at cub foods & costs $5.50 for a bottle a lil smaller than a normal windex bottle. Another really good on is sparkle but I cant find anyone who carries it anymore. I think they may have gone under
