Re: Cleaning inside glass
Paper towels will almost always streak. That's your problem right there.
I can't recall the name of the chemical offhand, but paper towels have a chemical in them that streaks when you use them on glass. I think it's a remnant from the manufacturing process.

Re: Cleaning inside glass
By a glass cleaning towel, doesn't really matter which as long as it is a flat weave and watch this: Chapter 8: Cleaning Glass - YouTube

Invisible glass , a waffle weave cloth and followed with a fine MF towel works darn well if not a smoker .
If smoker it may take some time.

Use 2 waffle weave glass towels and Meg's glass cleaner. One towel to clean and the other to do a final dry/wipe.
I have used several really good glass cleaners and I have to say Meg's has been the best so far. Not to mention it is hands down the best smelling glass cleaner and a hell of a value in the gallon size.

Re: Cleaning inside glass
My best and easiest way is to spray some Stoners Invisible Glass on a MF and then use one of those triangular foam covered cleaning handles to reach all the hard to get to corners.
Then I polish the glass with a clean MF
Generally takes two applications to get all the sticky crud haze off all the windshield.
And once every six month is all i need too.

Re: Cleaning inside glass
On the inside of my 2011 Mazda Speed 3...I never touch the glass. If my gf or little sister does I first smack them in the hand lol, but i use a clean microfiber cloth on the insides and just wipe it away. I don't use cleaners, I swear it comes right off w no streaking and no smears or anything. The outside of the glass I spray it off and wash it first then as it is almost dry I hit it w a very quick pass of liquid glass. Then use a news paper to wipe it clean. The trick on the outside is to NO coat it with whatever solution u r using. I do 1 pass only which is just enough. Maybe I'm OCD...but who knows lol

Re: Cleaning inside glass
I literally have all the possible glass towels on the market (if not all, very close) and have always been frustrated because of lint, streaks etc... After much researching and much experimentation, and much discussion with pros alike I finally found a combination that has not disappointed.
Mike P always advocates 2 towels.... and that is 100% right! For dirty glass I use 2 regular multipurpose micros with DP Krystal Vision. This is combo is a killer for dirty windows but always seem to leave smudges and streaks, even when I tried using glass towels etc.. Once the glass is cleaned of the plastic fog, or smoke residue etc... (or on clean"ish" glass for maintenance) I follow that with CarPro's Fast Glass with WATER ONLY, and do my final wipedown with a Microfiber Madness Crazy Pile. This is the best combo EVER!!!!
So "cleaner" product for dirty glass followed by Fast Glass + MFM OR just Fast Glass with water and MFM for maintenance. Easy as pie and won't be chasing smudges and streaks for days.
NOTE: For any product and MF combo, what I found is do not let the product dry on the glass (cleaner or water). Then you end up cursing the process or towels
