    I thought all your licking would keep them in good condition.

    I have a bottle of cheap Turtle Wax stuff, works perfectly for me, use a microfibre cloth. Alternatively, vinegar and decent kitchen roll.

    You need a waffle cloth for glass IMO, i got a dodo one a while back and i've never looked back! Can use any variety of cleaners but cleaning with a mircofibre always caused a load of streaks on for me, some of the 3m glass cleaner and then buffing dry with the waffle cloth does excellent job, the waffle cloth is really dirty afterwards

    3M Glass Cleaner foam stuff for me too. Got it off Davy @ Procar, great stuff inside and out.

    Spray it to the cloth though, not the screen, and turn the cloth regulary.

    The glass cleaner isn't the most important bit. The part which everyone over looks is using new or at least clean cloths.

    IPA or a strong liquid glass cleaner and mist it on to the cloth not the glass. Use a second cloth to remove the smears. Wearing gloves also helps as the oils/sweat from your skin can transfer on to the cloth.

    Autoglym glass polish, comes in a bottle just like the normal polish, just put it on with a cloth and polish off like you would the exterior, no streaks and works for inside and outside. Or if you just want them cleaned quickly try autoglym fast glass, spray on and rub in with blue cloth or kitchen roll and just go over with a polishing cloth! both work great for me

    I am with you on this one for the inside but on the outside I use Rain X Window Cleaner. It leaves the window perfectly clean but also repels any water on the windscreen and prolongs the life of your wipers as a bonus!!:)

    On the outside I use fire glaze, mainly because I have it on the shelf. Have used RainX in the past but fire glaze is just as good imo

    Some people do overloook the obvious like window cleaners for windows lol

    Although Ive also used Mer before. It's a good all round polish for most stuff. Cant see why anyone would ever need anything fancy for something so simple.
    Then just keep some kitchen roll handy for a clean every now and again so it doesnt get a dirt build up
