Warm water + dish soap + rubbing alcohol. Nothing expensive to buy, easier than Windex or any glass specific cleaner I've bought.

We made a small bucket's worth and cleaned our sunroom windows, then I did our three vehicles inside and out. Works like a champ.

What if the inside has a film to reduce light/ heat ?? Will the alchohol damage it ??

most likely. I was told not to use any alcohol products on mine. Sprayway is what I like to use.

Wonder how it'd work if you put it in a spray bottle?

Other than length of time spent, I figure it'd be the same as long as you sprayed it on heavy vs just a misting. I think part of what makes it easier is just the amount of liquid you're working with. Having a lot of really slippery solution makes the cloth glide along the glass really smoothly without having to 'scrub' at all.

Try using Chemical Guys glass cleaner. It actually works and does not streak. Casts more but does the job. Wally World or Azamon.
