Going to the auto store today. Will check it out. As far as using newspaper, our's is so small now it isn't big enough to wipe your arse much less do a vehicle. I have some microfiber towels I will try.
Some had already suggested, use diluted white vinegar. Wet a clean rag with the diluted solution ( I think it was 1/3 of white vinegar and 2/3 of water with a dash of salt ). Wipe the class with the wet rag and then use kitchen paper towel to clean up.
Change the paper towel regularly. I used to fold it twice and change the surface contacting the glass after a few wipes ( don't be afraid of using double or even triple layers, I like the paper towel to feel like a thick pad in my hands .
Keep the windows open for awhile after cleaning unless you love the smell of vinegar.
I second using Invisible Glass. That used with a microfiber towel does the trick for me. Nice and clear with no streaks. You can find it at all the auto supply stores as well as Wally World.
I get mine from Griot's garage. Cleans any kind of window really well and doesn't streak at all. They also sell "lint-free" paper towels that are great. https://www.griotsgarage.com/product/window+cleaner.do?sortby=ourPicks&refType=&from=Search
The one I keep coming back to is "Sparkle." It's a purple colored liquid that comes in a trigger spray pump plastic bottle. I use it with paper towels. The key is to have a clean paper towel to sort of polish the glass immediately after wiping off what you scrubbed the window grime with. There is a sort of film that you must polish off before it completely dries. After seeing posts above, I will try the Invisible Glass. I'm always looking for something better but so far, I keep coming back to Sparkle. One benefit is there is no ammonia smell.
Simple Green will cut most of the grease, cover up the dashboard if you use spray, I would wet a clean rag with the Simple Green and wipe on, the wipe off with paper towel.
The Sprayway Glass Cleaner from Costco works fine, that's what I use for light duty cleaning. I wipe down the interior with it and works fine.
What's up with the newspaper? Doesn't seem like it would be absorbent enough to do any good?
After complaining about my streaking windows to my wife she went into the utility room and brought out something called a Krystal Klear cloth. It is a very thin material about 16" square. She said to just wet it with water, wring it out and clean the windshied and let it dry. Bingo, my windshield is streak free and crystal clear. She said she has been using these for years on our houseboat which has a bunch of large windows. Now she tells me.
