Default Best Windshield Cleaner for F?

guys, I tried to look for windshield cleaner thread using search but i couldnt find it.

Would anyone suggest best windshield cleaner for F?
Whenever I use my wiper, its not cleaning well enough. I dont think its the wiper since they are almost new so I want to try different kind of windshield cleaner.

Any suggestion is awesome! Thanks,

P21S has an additive that you can add to your windshield wiper fluid. It works like a charm.

Are you talking about something to put into the windshield washer reservoir or something to manually clean the windshield before driving? I take that back. I should have read the thread "correctly". I agree that P21S has a good solution. Also RainX has something but I cannot vouch for that as RainX in and of itself leaves something to be desired.

I've been using Aquapel. Works better than Rain-X and lasts a lot longer IME.

To clean the glass, my favorite is No Streek. It takes longer to use because you put it on wet, let it dry, then wipe the haze off the glass, but I've never seen anything clean glass better, especially on the inside. If I'm in a hurry, I use Stoners Invisible Glass because it's convenient and works well. The wife prefers it to all other cleaners for our glass top furniture.

Years ago, they had a product called Glass Wax, I loved it. But, alas, it is no longer available Now, I just use water and cloth diapers.

No Streek used to be called Glass Wax. That's how I found it back in the early 90's.
