Can anybody recommend a good cleaner?
I am getting film from the ac system inside the cabin.
Do you think microfiber towels are better than paper towels?
What do you think about the window tool that gets the edges of the windows clean?
Glass clean and reach tool.

Glass is glass I just use the regular Windex ammonia free with glass microfiber,then polish with newspaper.
 
I got Sprayway in a pressurized aerosol spray can and the product works well. But I don't recommend pressurized spray cans, there's too much overspray. Better off with something in a non-pressurized pump bottle.

From my experience there are no bad glass cleaners (but I clean them every week or every other week - so, there is never much build up).
Right now I'm using Sonax.
The Glass Master is very useful.
And a good glass microfiber WW is definetly better than paper...

Only Stoner, only microfiber
 
I've been having good results with Stoner's Invisible Glass with one microfibre to clean and another to buff. I learned the technique from here, no less. I should mention that they're thin and not fluffy at all like regular microfibre. My mom bought them last year from a professional cleaning supply store and they work great.
 
You will find that a good amount of autogeeks use stoners invisible glass cleaner it works fantastic i had been using it even before getting into detailing as hobby. Get two microfibers one to spray the cleaner with and wipe then the other dry one to dry (buff) it works fantastic.
As for the little tool I would think it works fine but never really tried it.
 
Many times I just use hot water with a glass microfiber cloth and go over it a few times. I've noticed that some of the cleaners spread the contaniments around and leave hard to remove streaks. Interior windows are a pain in the ---.
 
I have discovered that the glass clean type is less important than how you dry the glass. I use various cleaners, such as Invisible Glass or some generic ones, and get great results using the two microfiber towel method. One is used to clean and the other is a dry one that I use to buff any streaking out with. The dry towel should be lint free so you dont see all the left over lint when you drive into morning sunshine the next day.
