I, like I believe others don`t really like doing the glass during a detail. I`m as particular as they come and for the most part and am not usually satisfied with the result of my window washing. I had this conversateion the other day with Ronkh. I had just finished up a full detail and having tried 3 differnt cleaners and half a dozen different towels finished disappointed. He also indicated that windows weren`t on his top 40 list but mentioned a product that made this procedure easier for him. He didn`t tell me in detail about the product but mentioned that the material was called MiraFiber sold under the name of Ultimate Cloth. He told me these had been discussed on the forum some time ago. I either missed the discussion or much like the other glass cleaning threads I`d seen, ignored it. Always figured you either have it or you don`t.
Ron offered to send me a couple of these. I figured I`d tried most everything else over the years and probably didn`t like the way my windows turned out since newspapers changed inks and bonding agents. ;) Thought I`d give them a shot.
Well, bounce forward to today. I tried these out. Ron had told me you simply wet these, ring them out and wipe the windows down in a crosshatch pattern, no cleaners, no sponges, just that easy. That too is what the instructions that came with the cloth said to do and that`s what I did. To make a long story short, these worked just as advertised, slick as a whistle and in little time. I looked hard to see where they`d let me down but they had not. You do have to rinse them out after an area about the size of half the windshield. They pick up dirt and and clog up. I was kind of amazed at how much they picked up on a freshly washed car.
These cloth`s aren`t some thick plush towel. They`re exactly the opposite quite thin 13.5 " X 15.5" and feel a bit like thin styrofoam. I`m sure they`re are other threads out there that discuss this product in more detail but I didn`t exhaust the search.

Not much more I can say. These worked for me. Thanks Ron!
