The cleanest windows I have seen were done with vinegar and newspaper.

Personally, I use a product called "Pronto" which is in an aerosol can but comes out like Windolene.  I'm a smoker so I have to clean my screen fairly often, and it cuts through the tobacco no problem.  I got a few cans years ago, but I think its from Autosmart.

A flatmate I knew used to pour a 2 litre bottle of coke down the toilet, leave it overnight and flush in the morning. Result: clean-looking toilet.

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

I use autosmart cristal, its the best glass cleaner i have used so far leaves a streak free finish and is very quick and simple to use!

I would definately reccomend it.

Ok so Megs glass cleaner turned up today, from their bulk range, and you can dilute it 10:1  :happy2:

I'm now happy with this, its a lot better than anything else I've tried to date, smells good and leaves a sparkling - streak free finish.

Need to find a decent glass cloth now that doesnt moult little hairs  :laugh:

Glad you liked it matey ;) it does smell awesome doesn't it?! Try and get hold of some of the autoglym perfect hand aplicators. They are great for glass and the inside of windscreens.

Been using Megs NXT for ages with microfibre cloths, good result I would say.

Tried a new product over the weekend from Sonus.

http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/engine-amp-exterior/sonus-glass-chrome-polish/prod_120.html

again using two microfibre cloths, result was alot better.

Comes out as a cream type mixture but without leaving any dust like AutoGlym tends to do.

Well pleased with the results, smells abit like toothpaste though, strange as divers use toothpaste on their masks to stop fogging!!! :laugh:

Thank you all for your suggestions.  Just checked out the link for Sonus and it says you shouldn't use it on fil coated windows - I suspect that covers the tints I have as well...

Any other recommendations?

Atomiser spray bottle from the garden centre, diluted screen wash and a micro fibre glass cloth from Wilkinsons does the job for me!
Its easy, cheap and gets all the crap off in no time to leave them looking very shiny and clean. I've tried loads of different things and to be honest this has been the best by far for me.
