I never get tired of promoting their terrific products...but again I recommend Autoglym Fast Glass with a soft microfibre cloth. Here is a link to see for yourself.

Newspaper is incredible...

Logic would suggest that would be the case. It turns out to be the best item to clean glass. I collect pinball machines and all serious collectors I have met over the years also use newspaper on their pins and cars, it is by FAR the best, hands down.

I use Stoners with the triangle pad, works good and reaches into the tight spots around the rear light in the back windshield.

I also keep isopropyl alcohol in an old salad dressing (sans dressing) pump type aerosol sprayer for really bad/ greasy spots/ bugs/tar/poop/blood. Sprays a fine mist and evaporates with zero residue.

Also don't use fabric softener on your detail rags.

For when those damn pedestrians think they have the right away.

As for the topic at hand, I picked up a 6-pack of EagleOne. Stuff's worked pretty well so far. No complaints... and it smells soooooooo goood.

sorta-nub question - If my windows aren't tinted, it'd be okay to use rain repellant Stoners on the inside right?

I've never used any products for cleaning my windows. After drying my car from a wash, I just use that slightly moist MF towel and give the windows a quick wipe. No streaks or residue.

I guess so, but it's kinda pointless unless your car has its own weather system inside.
