Cheap Vodka makes great GLASS cleaner.
I use Taaka Vodka because it is so inexpensive. You can get 1.75 litres for as little as $12.
Put it in a spray bottle and use as you would any other glass cleaner. I have yet find anything that has worked as well.
Words of caution:
1. Vodka is flammable. Should be obvious but just keep that in mind.
2. Some clear plastics are sensitive to ethanol the key ingredient in Vodka. This may include tint film as well (try on an small spot and check for hazing before doing a large area)
I have tried my own solutions of denatured alcohol (ethanol with additives) and distilled water but they haven't worked as well as just simple vodka. Vodka has been propossed in the passed but I had never tried it thinking denatured alochol and water mixed was just as good. I also tried some mixtures of vodka with a little bit of windex and ultra tiny amounts of dishwashing soap mixed in and the results weren't as good pure vodka.
Hope this helps.

I prefer Stoner's Window cleaner, in the aerosol can, works great and best of all should it drip on the paint, it doesn't harm anything, as long as you wipe it off with a wet micro fibre towel.
I'll save the $8 difference and put it towards a bottle of Svedka or Skyy and enjoy the Martini, shaken not stirred... Just call me Bond, James Bond.

So what does anyone here use to wipe the windows? I use a paper towel, but I always find the fibers of the towel on my windows. Can anyone suggest anything else that won't shed? And if so, where can I get it?

LOL that's what I was thinking...and it already comes w/ a spray bottle !!
p.s. I use those tough blue shop towel rolls for cleaning glass. they don't disintegrate very easily and don't leave too many paper fibers at all. a bit more expensive than generic paper towel, but very useful.

if vodka and alcohol touches your paint it will basically unseal your car of any protection (ex: wax and/or sealant) . i like using sprayway in an aerosol can since it foams up instead of running all over the place. and a nice MF just for windows. woo yeah. btw paint cleaner waxes work really well for windows too like Klasse All In One it helps bead and shed water.

I recently picked up Armor All's window cleaner and it works really well but I don't use it for the inside since it doesn't actually say, "safe for tinted windows". I just use some cheap microfiber towels I picked up at Pep Boys for the windows.
HAHA, when I saw the Vodka mention, was totally thought you guys were talking about normal drinking Vodka.
