Default windshield care

Was just wondering what everybody does to clean their windshields? I have used windex and paper towels but it seems to scratch it.
Thanks

I have used the pop up glass wipes and they seem to do ok. Probably the safest is to wash with soap and water (car or bike wash soap) or use a product made for plastic. I think Sonus makes specific products.

loosen crap with soap & water, touch up scratches/dull areas with Plastix by Meguiar's and a good microfiber towel

Plexis is great stuff. Been using it for years and have had no problems with it. A little expensive but well worth it.

Plexus spray and a clean microfiber cloth. Let the plexus do it thing then gently wipe it dry.

+1 on Plexus. Novus products are also good.

Another vote for Plexus. Just make sure you don't use paper towels. Good stuff...
