What kind of glass cleaner do you guys use for your tanks?

[jcurella]

I've been using a bottle of generic store brand windex for a few years. But it seems to leave streaks pretty bad.
I always spray it on a paper towel instead of the glass to be sure that no particles get into the tank.
But I want to buy something better that won't leave streaks as bad.
Any cheap recommendations?

I use windex multi surface, like you said I never spray the tank just a paper towel then get to cleaning. It works well for the stand also.

Vinegar

Most stuff is easily wiped off with a clean dry microfiber towel.
Once in a while I'll spray some Invisible Glass on a microfiber towel away from the tank, then wipe the glass down with it.

I use Invisible Glass. Usually just spray it on the cloth.

I use invisible glass as well. I spray it directly on the glass but at a somewhat downward angle. Before that I used winded the same way.

RO/DI water with a splash of vinegar.

Dry paper towel. If I need some liquid, it is RO/DI only. I have never needed anything beyond that. Towel off the saltwater then a dry paper towel usually does the trick.

Slightly wet a paper towel with RO/DI water and wipe down the glass. Once you have it nice and wet, take a clean paper towel and wipe it dry. The RO/DI water will soak up anything and everything that was on the glass.

I use paper towel and either water or if it's bad a spritz of windex directly on the paper towel. THEN I add rainex to the glass, same as my car windshield, and take that off with dry paper towel, then windex. This makes any future water that is dripped on the glass slide right off, leaving a small fraction of the salt on the glass that would normally be left there. I swear this also makes the glass cleaner longer.

wet a paper towel with windex in another room, wipe the tank down, wipe it dry with another paper towel. ^That rainex idea is pretty awesome.

Vinegar water and newspapers

Water & a towel. Very cheap

I dip a towel in my freshwater tank and wipe the glass down.

I struggled with this for many months. Water, water/vinegar, windex, etc. I was never satisfied, until someone here recommended Kent Marine Acrylic and Glass Cleaner. It is the best thing I have used. It may appear expensive, but it is not. The bottle last for long time.

I use this. I worked for a glass company and this is all we used. It's a foam spray that leaves no streaks at all. I believe at the time it could only be bought through glass distributors, but now you can find it everywhere.

RODI water and a squeegee, takes 2 minutes every day and gets all the cheetos/goldfish/chocolate/etc fingerprints off quite well.
