Try stoners spray and some news paper. The foaming action blows windex out of the water.

Revise your statement about wax, it makes little sense.

I thought the newspaper trick was to use it dry and by itself ?

Maybe I got it wrong ?, dunno. I thought the dry ink acted like a fine polish, I could be wrong though.

Old school: 1 tablespoon of white vinegar into a spray bottle of water. Apply and clean with newspaper.

News paper is lint free which is one big reason it is so popular. It also has almost no absorption when compared to a lint free towel like Scott's shop rags so you get more product action. Not sure about the ink being a polish.
