Cleaning windows?

[USC]

Have you guys noticed that Windows are actually full of swirl marks and scratches!! Im begining to notice it on my car, specially at night with a torch

What the best product to clean windows and prevent scratches? Is there any way of polishing them put (I dont want to call a glazier to polish it with a buffer and jeweller rouge) - just something manual that will make the window smoother.

Thanks

Autoglym glass polish.

hmm... tried that..its OK but can cause more scratches if you polish too keenly. Ive heard of zaino or something...could that work?

wet newspaper, followed quickly by dry newspaper.
I have never found anything that cleans windows better.

Scrunch up two medium sized balls, wet one leave the other dry, do small areas at a time. The more elbow grease, the better the finish.

Cheers, thanks mate. Will give that a go. I have never seen glass windows that scratches so easily!

Yep ive found nothing beats newspaper and some warm water so a +1 here.

yea, no need to use glass cleaner with the newspaper. In fact I've tried it and water works better.
It really is the best way to clean windows, cheap too!
You need to get the wet part pretty damp and spongy, and keep the dry part dry, and as mentioned the final finish is proportional to the amount of elbow greese used. You're arms will be burning by the end.
