Default Glass Cleaner?

Been reading through the posts and used the search facility but can't seen to find a definitive answer, what would you recommend for cleaning glass. I've yet to find anything that doesn't leave streaks or powder. It's mainly the inside I'm talking about, I'm not keen on using anything other than detergent on the outside, particularly of the windscreen.

I use Autoglym "Fast Glass" with a lint free cloth and never have any problems!

I use AG glass polish.

I take it off with a microfibre cloth, which catches most of the dust.

That's strange someone asking about glass cleaner. I've just this minute ordered a bottle of Evans Glass Cleaner from e-bay. SWMBO and I have been cleaning a caravan and had been given a bottle of this for the job. I found it the best stuff i'd ever used! Will post later when I've tried it on the car.

Nilglass, I`ve used it for years.... Great stuff but like all glass cleaners try not to use in hot direct sunlight

AG Fast Glass is great stuff, but it leaves a residue if you have any little chips in the screen. Also, if you drop some on the dash its a nightmare.

Its difficult to beat Mr Muscle to be honest! Applied and wiped off with kitchen roll

I've always used the cheapest glass cleaner I can find (the green stuff you buy in the supermarket) and never had a problem with it
