Are there special towels just for cleaning glass and do any of you use a squeegee?
I tried different microfiber towels and they were junk for glass. I ended up using a dish towel. It was the kind that didn't have lint. I don't know what you call it, not like a bath towel.
Is there a special kind of towel for glass? I'm ready to start using old t-shirts. There's always some streak or smudge you can see later that when the light hits the windshield just right.
What about a squeegee on the outside window? I've cleaned my glass at a gas station many times and never had a streak, but that was before even being interested in detailing. Inside might be different, cover the dash with a towel, I don't know.
Thanks.

I bought these about a month back and they are already starting to fray at the corners I don't think it will be long before they begin to completely fall apart. Otherwise they do a decent job cleaning the glass. Just poorly made.
The Cobra Waffle Weave Microfiber Glass Towel cleans & buffs glass to crystal clarity with the soft texture of genuine Cobra microfiber.

+1 I use the same exact products and they work great. I also want to add D120 is very economical, 11 gallons of window cleaner with $20 worth of gallon concentrate. After cleaning with window mf, follow up with a long nap mf to buff off.

+1 Im totally impressed with most of Meguiars Detailers line of products, especially this glass cleaner. Only recently came across it and my glass has never looked better. Have even started using it around the house
I tend to wipe the glass with a normal microfiber towel first to remove most of the dirt or whatever is on the glass. And then finish off with a Sonax glass towel. Leaves a perfect streak free finish.
The problem with the towels can be due to the fact that the glass cleaner is strong chemical and therefore after cleaning the glass I immediately put the towels in a bucket of water and later wash it the same day (i follow this with every other chemical as I've lost a few towels). This has made my glass towels last longer. Also since I use two towels, most of the cleaner doesnt come in contact with the glass towel.
