Before you can get the outer glass really "clean", you must remove the road film that most cleaners will not take off. Us a wet towel and "Bon Ami" cleanser, scrub hard and then rinse with cool water. THEN use whatever glass cleaner you like.

Also proper prep for Rain-X or Aquapel.
One item I use to really clean road film, along with good soap is #0000 steel wool. I got this tip a while back.... works great!!

For final clean, micro fiber with Sprayway and Stoner. Each will clean a different film. Then, just keep up with it.

BTW, the 4 ZERO's (not 3, or 2, etc.... ONLY 0000) on the steel wool !!! It will not scratch the class.

I have only tried windex as a cleaner

Any suggestions
Use water, clean microfiber or clean towel. Use no fabric softener or fabric softener sheets for drying towels or microfiber.

Windex has a sludge residue in it which later turns to a haze. The shinny stuff for dash and plastic and leather are pretty aweful too.

If you need to get off road grime, paint or other stuff use a clay bar with the spay it comes with.

My wife gave me a towel called "the Ultimate Cleaning cloth"
Uses water only,leaves no streaks .
Wet towel and wring out,wipe windshield.
Never saw anything like it!
Marie sells them at all of her craft shows for 5.00 ,money back guarantee
Best part no more chemicals and you can wash it when it gets to dirty.
I use it on my car windshields and Marie uses one for everything around the house.

And here's a technique hint.

Wipe one direction on the outside (say, up and down) and the counter direction on the inside (side-to-side.) That way, if (when) you see streaks you know instantly if they're on the inside or outside of the glass.
