The Sprayway is actually pretty good stuff, but no glass cleaner is going to do the job all by itself. If you over use anything - Sprayway, Stoner's, our own Perfect Clarity, etc - it will self dry on the glass. If that happens and you've got a fair bit of road film mixed in with the product, any product, it's going to streak - period.

As stated above, use enough glass cleaner to get the gunk off the window first, then go back with a very, very light mist of product and a dry area of the towel. In fact, having a second, dry towel for your final wipe really helps.

Michael Stoops - I'm actually pretty anal ( can i say that on here ) when it comes to keeping my windows clean, especially my windshield / back window therefore gunk has no time to build up, however you're absolutely right, if you use to much product it will dry and then of course streak.

One other thing about cleaning glass is all too often glass gets cleaned using overhead light and it looks great, then at night or at dawn and dusk with low angle light it looks all streaky. You have to either clean or check your glass using low angle light if you want to get the streaks out. If you are using over head lights in a shop or midday/afternoon sun it may look clean but as soon as you get low angle sunlight or on-coming headlights the streaks will be there.

Not to sound short, but otherwise it is a matter of technique to get it right the first time.

I have found that RainX seems to get rid of any smears on the outside when removed properly (not leaving its own residue), and if you keep after the inside so no film builds up heavy, a light mist on the towel and then wipe is all you really need (can flip towel over for a dry wipe). Just being sure to wipe over all the glass and not miss a spot, and the glass cleaner wont leave its own streaks.

If there is a heavy film, you may need to clean a couple times, so that your final time is real light mist again.

I use the Nxt Glass Cleaner at the moment, and like a smaller, short nap MF towel, like the Vroom ones. Doing things like claying the outside if needed can give a better surface to work on.

And at least if you can get out of the direct sun, or hot sun to work. Dont like damp conditions either.
