Ive gone back to using AG car glass polish as i seem to get a smear free finish with it. The AG fast glass (spray on) and the legs glass cleaner i get smears all over along with too much lint from the microfibre cloths i have.

I've got both AG fast glass spray and the Polish, the Polish does buff out better and perhaps adds a thin layer of longevity.

I've found the cloth is more important than the cleaner. I had one from Autoperfection was awesome - clean the windows using a glass cleaner + MF and then buff the glass using the cloth. No smears, streaks or marks when misting.

The closest replacement I've found is this: http://www.waxattack.co.uk/?wpsc-product=16-x-16-woven-glass-cleaning-cloth

As above really.
Fold your cloth 4 ways equally. Buff with one side and wipe off with the other.
No smears 100% of the time..
