Default How do you clean your windshield with NO streaks?!

I've tried using a newspaper to clean the windshield as I heard this is an old trick used to prevent streaking, however it seems no matter how hard I try, I eventually see streaks!!! What do you guys reccommend??

I use Eagle One 20/20 with a waffe weave MF. The dense MF towels work okay but I've found that the waffle weaves leave NO streaks at all..

The one i was talking about does have a waffle weave to it...it's made esp for glass...never any streaks...

And if you use Invisible Glass you won't get streaks no matter what kind of cloth you use...there are no soaps in it...

you probably can tell from the posts above that the mf is the best choice now-

but, fyi newspaper should also work- you just gotta buff the windshield after cleaning with a dry mf!! (not kidding- i often use a shop / paper towel and glass cleaner- followed by buffing with a dry mf)
