4th Generation Glass cleaners

just wondering what glass cleaners are good? I've always used household cleaners like Windex and Glass Plus. But while I was at the auto section of Wallyworld today I noticed there were some made for cars glass cleaners like, Invisible Glass and Armor All Glass Wipes. Are these better?

Personally, for interior cleaning of car windows I find a 1:6 mixture of water to vinegar works the best. It works great at getting not only dirt off, but in particular for new cars that are outgassing petroleum-based oil from the plastics it'll take that off easily too without streaking. And since there's no ammonia in the mix, it's safe for any tinting film too.

Another one for Stoner's Invisible Glass. That Windex crap just smears the dirt/grime all over the place. Below is a pic of how the Stoner's stuff looks like. It comes in an aerosol, pump spray and handy wipe.

Stoners IG, is really the best product to clean glass that I've found!

Sprayway Glass Cleaner is what I use on mine and clients vehicles. I used to use Stoners but I found that Sprayway had a slight edge to it

Had more of a risk of streaking with Stoners than Sprayway. Sometimes I'd have to do multiple wipes just to get it to go clear. Between the 2 I picked Sprayway since it did everything Stoners pretty much did

Vinegar works but smells like sh*t. Personally I really prefer the kind that gets foamy, and yes Stoners is a good product.

What's the difference between the aerosol and spray bottle? And do you guys use newspaper?

On my tint, I use a damp microfiber towel to wipe, and a dry microfiber towel to dry.

On exterior glass, I use aerosol foamy cleaners.
