It's worked for me for many years.

No, water (tap/distilled/DI...tried 'em all) on a cotton/MF/polypro window wipe didn't work worth anything for me; I seem to need some kind of surfactant/solvent/whatever. I don't like ONR nearly as well as my window cleaners either and (this is just me..) I keep APCs away from these areas of my vehicles; I'd have to rinse rinse rinse to make sure they didn't leave any APC residue that could migrate somewhere.
Paper towels always leave paper lint (and cotton towels usually do too).
This is something that simply leaves me
I *know* other people love these approaches but they never work nearly as well for me as my Griot's Window Cleaner and Zep #40
For that matter, a few highly regarded glass polishes didn't work for me either.
I've never found anything that works as well as polypropylene window wipes either. Every single MF for glass has eventually left lint except for *one* old Cobra one that I use for fine optics instead of the cars. The surgical huck towels (that a member here generously sent me) were horrible too. Sheesh...it must be my situation or something but I have to use those pricey plypro wipes to get my glass 100% (and man do they work great...used with those window cleaners it's no chore at all).
Please don't take any of the above as an
or anything like that...these cases where I need to use some goofy-specific (and often costly) approach are something I could gladly do without if only I could find an effective solution. But for now I'm just sticking with what works for me.
