For some reason I am NEVER able to have a streak free windows when I clean them.

I use the two towels method(one with cleaning product and one dry). I used two different window cleaning product but always get streaks when looking in direct sunlight.

Any tips?

D120 and only use dedicated window towels.spray on glass and clean all your trim work first then pull it in the middle of glass and do your final wipe.on a average size car like a Impala there are 16 pieces of glass,you should at the mimium using 3 micros on it.I always use steel wool on all my details during the prep.

The blue indigo if I spelled correct are pretty good for glass.

I keep a handful of the cheap microfiber rags from the local store on hand and use them ONLY for use with windows. Invisible Glass is all I use. Zero problems. I also don't re-use them for windows once they are laundered. No matter how well I rinse and clear them they never are as good as pure virgin ones. Not a big deal as they are cheap and roll them into other uses.

I used CG Signature Glass Cleaner and a struff called Vitrex.
As for the towels I use cheap MF from wal-mart(might be the problem).

How is the condition of your glass?
It is possible the problem might be the glass, and not the approach you are taking.

Very different types of glass. Some older cars and mine which is less that a year old.

Cleaning glass in the hot Florida sun is totally different from cleaning cool garaged glass.

I used to have the same problem with glass. I have found that keeping the wiping surface of the towel flat and using pressure (basically buffing) with the second towel solved my problem.
