Default Glass cleaner for inside of windscreen

What do people use to clean the inside of their windscreen to get a clear, no stupid residue or shiny reflections result? I've never found anything to my satisfaction to do this. I know there's plenty of cleaning buffs on here, so what do you use?

crumpled newspaper - if i can't find any chemicals.

If it's chemicals - then Mr Muscle glass cleaner followed by a soft dry cloth.

Nilglass, leaves no residue for moiture (mist) to stick to, It's been around for 40 years or more, used by pilots to do the interior of cockpit screens, MOD, police, photocopier companies etc. etc. also good for inside of light clusters.

Try DP. After that, use their Krystal Vision glass cleaner.

Do not use newspaper - it's highly abrasive & eventually de-polishes the glass. Or rubbing it wi't' Whippet - it's unkind.

A MF cloth works.

Perhaps rubbing it on the whippets owners would be better I just find newspaper, preferably thesoft trashy tabloid kind works well for shifting traffic film - if you tried to use enough force to depolish the glass on an S2000 you'd end up with the windscreen sat on the bonnet

Autoglym glass cleaner (from someone who only cleans his cars when he can't identify them in car parks)

I do however clean the windows every other day as I like to see where I'm going

DP? Double Penetration? I was asking for cleaning tips not sexual acts...
