On this note, what kind of towels do you guys use on windows? I got “lint free” microfibers from chemical guys but they totally got lint lol
Cotton for glass, especially exterior glass. The rough surface of exterior glass pulls fine polyester strands from microfiber cloths. Microfiber is softer than cotton, but that doesn't matter for glass because glass is so much harder than both of them.

This is another glass cleaner I really like for the exterior windows. Great for repelling water/rain …

Surgical Huck is what pros use on glass, the cost of true “no lint” cotton is too high for the volume of rag a detail shop needs and will begin to lint eventually.

+1 for Stoners cleaner

Hmm, off-gassing from the interior plastic, I’ve heard of this before, haze caused by this is a PIA to remove!

Plain, dry newspaper will remove it. If it's really bad, you may need to spray on a cleaner first, but plain paper works for maintenance. I have a car with a leather dash and I still get a bit of the hazing, the plastic dashes are just a bit worse, especially if parked in the sun a lot.
I have OCD when it comes to my windshield. I.E. I don't wash my daily, but the windows are always crystal clear LOL.

DrNick, I am glad you asked this. I am currently trying to get spots off my windshield from the washer fluid. Invisible glass is not working!!

Water spots require a bit more work.

I only use rag company’s microfiber towels. The waffle towel does the job perfectly.

Are u properly washing them with the right soap and not using a dryer to dry them? air dry or extremely low heat prevents them from pilling and then starting to scratch the car

Maybe that’s it. I dry on high heat to speed things up
