Hi,

I ordered Chemical Guys Yellow Workhouse microfiber towel for the windows, and I search for the best product to clean without haze ?

Regards.

Spray the cleaner on the glass and wipe clean with towel #1, then buff the glass with towel #2.
 
The 2 towel method is applying the glass cleaner with one microfiber (wet one) and then removing any streaks with another one (dry one). You can also sometimes get away by folding the towel into 4's and then just using the front and back of one for the wet and dry.

I have found that by not skimping on the glass cleaner (applying it heavily) and using one towel (wet w/cleaner) to spread it around (remove the gunk from the glass) and the second (dry) towel to pick up the remaining cleaner & gunk ... you have to get it off the glass before it dries ... leaves a window that is less likely to have smears when you're done wiping.

I bought Meguiar’s Glass Cleaner Concentrate, 1 Gallon, dilutes to make an excellent auto glass cleaner. Meguiars Concentrated Car Glass Cleaner is great for and like it a lot. It helps it is a gallon of concentrate.

Also Stoner's Invisible Glass is popular, both the spray and aerosol versions.

I use the ^^^^ Stoner's invisible glass. Been very happy with it.
No streaks, just clean windows. As with most products, I apply directly to the MF. Take care.

Peace,

I spray glass cleaner on the window, spread with Stoners Glass Reach Tool(link below), wipe worst of glass cleaner with (wet towel) and then buff to a clean shine with (dry towel). Keeping the dry towel dry is a key part. I used to try and use one towel and fold accordingly, but found my dry side was too wet by the half way point of windows.

The most critical part about cleaning windows is patience! You can't rush window cleaning!

Stoner Invisible Glass Reach & Clean Tool
 
For you DIYers..

1/4 cup rubbing alcohol

1/4 cup white vinegar

1 TBSP cornstarch

2 cups water

This will amaze you. Cleanest glass I've seen including commercial and auto products I've tried over the years.
 
CarPro FastGlass towels are the most amazing thing I've tried recently.

*I hope that you understand my question.

I use Meg's Perfect Clarity Glass Cleaner that you can find at any auto parts store, with a waffle weave towel. Works awesome. Not sure about using glass cleaner for washer fluid.
 
I tried Stoners but it either did not like my windows or my towels left near impossible to got off lint all over my window. Hope's Perfect Glass or in pinch I just grab the old ladies windex. Thinking of getting some Meg's D102 but I am affriad I will die before i use it all, may get it and make bunch for the idiots at work also just to try it.
 
Here is my recipe for a glass cleaner.

This is a non streaking glass cleaner.

Yes that is 1 teaspoon of liquid dish detergent. Do not use more than 1 teaspoon in a gallon. Use 91% alcohol which is available at the drug store. It only contains 9% water, the 70% contains 30% water.

Glass Cleaner

1/2 cup Ammonia (sudsy or clear, Your choice)

2 cups 91% alcohol

1 tsp Dishwashing Liquid

Water to fill 1 gal.
 
You don't want to use ammonia as it can mess with window tint that is installed aftermarket (almost all)

I that that tool goes under a number of different name brands, perhaps for a little less moola. I was lucky, found the same tool at the thrift shop for $1. Then found the replacement Pads here, and was up and running.
