Default Glass cleaner

What does everyone use for a glass cleaner? Something that i can use inside and out would be ideal.

Thank you all!

Look at 1Z's (now nextzett) Windscreen Clear and Meguiar's Clarity Glass Cleaner. Both are excellent products, the nextzett stuff is strong.

Sprayway Glass Cleaner in aerosol can. No streaks and inexpensive. Costs about $3.00 per can.

The 3M tint shop that I've used for several cars uses Sprayway aerosol. I got some and it works very well inside and out.

I use a squeegee on exterior glass after washing.

For interior, use Invisible Glass (cheap, about $3). Cousins have auto/commercial glass business. They use this or just about anything without ammonia. As for rag, have tried many types on the interior glass and mirrors, and finally found ones that work great. Picture of same is below from the Rag Company.

I picked this up yestureday. I couldn't find the other brands in stock. They did have the invisible glass stuff there. (about 8 bucks) i have used it before and it was ok for me. (could have been the cloth i used) I figured I would give this a shot.

Default Griots Glass Cleaner...

... available in refillable pump bottle and as a foaming spray. We actually use it all around the house as well. I have replaced almost all internal house cleaning products with Griot's Glass Cleaner and Waterless car wash - great job and love the smell. My wife, who is also a serious car "guy", is fine with it as it encourages me to clean the bathrooms...

Windex, which actually does go bad in the bottle after a year or so. But Invisible Glass seems to clean better, leaves less residue, and never goes bad in the aerosol can. With a roll of Bounty paper towels, which are expensive paper towels but also way better than most at absorbing and not smearing.
