Who Cleans The Exterior Of Their Glass With Window Cleaner?

Ok my poll is:

I have never cleaned the exterior of my windows with glass cleaner after doing a wash. I always just wash the windows with the regular car was soap during the wash then dry them.

Should I be using window cleaner to clean them (just like you do when doing the interior) after each wash?

Cool Well ... Yes and no.

I clean both sides of: the windshield, the glass in the front doors and the rear (hatch) window with 20/20. The other glass gets wiped with the Absorber.

I clean both insides and out after a wash.

I find that when I apply my plastic protectant I tend to get some on the glass so it makes me clean them.

I always clean the glass after washing, I feel as if I have cheated if I dont. Not sure if it makes that much differance, but makes me feel better.

I have RainX on my glass so the dirt and stuff doesn't really stick very well anyway. I hit the glass with my California Water Blade and then with the Absorber in cases I missed any water. The only time I actually clean the outside of the glass is when I apply RainX. I only apply RainX about every 8 weeks or so. I figure if I wash the glass when I wash the car then why go back over it with glass cleaner at the end?

I clean all my windows with a glass cleaner after I wash except for the outside of the windshield since I've got Rain-X on it. Just have to say this ProWax Glass Cleaner is awesome! You actually have to try to get it to streak.
