Default Favorite Window/Glass Cleaner?

When I find a favorite product, I end up buying it by the refill size (gallon bottles or cases of cans, etc.) Do you have a favorite glass cleaner? Why?

Nanolex Glass Cleaner works great! With the right glass towels they make glass cleaning a breeze.

Invisible glass, cleans really well and its a foam so it doesn't run off the windows before you're ready to wipe it off and it stays in place to work on stubborn stuff on the windshield.

For a new car or even a used vehicle I first use a fine clay bar and lube to remove any imbedded dirt. I then use a glass polish or sealant to protect and ease any future cleanings.
For the daily driver, Sprayway works really well on glass and other hard surfaces to remove dirt, bugs, etc.

Thanks for your responses. I hope that others chime in, too. I just had a new windshield put in a few weeks (a month?) ago, so I hope that clay barring it isn't necessary yet.



Detailers Domain: What "right" towels do you recommend with the cleaner you mentioned?

I used to use Stoner (foam and spray version) but I recently tried Meguiars Perfect Clarity and I think I like the Meguiars more. Smells fruity too!

Use Sontara EC or Aerospace Wipers for low lint application and drying. They are amazing!

Whatchu talkin 'bout Willis?

I use invisible glass (works great) but the stuff in my bottle I believe is basically a straight water-soluble solvent, I'm thinking methanol most likely. Definitely not a foam.

I love the stuff because you only have to use a tiny bit of it and will work great. Too much and it actually makes things worse.

The invisible glass I have is a foam. It comes in a can not a spray bottle.

How dies the Invisable Glass in a spray can (foam) compare to the Invisable Glass liquid in a spray bottle?
