The only thing that has, and ever has, worked is Windowlene (or the more expensive autoglym fast glass - but why) and elbow grease. The elbow grease bit is [b]important[/b].

I use old ripped up bedsheets, the cold smooth type (not the fluffy cotton type), spray windowlene on the screen (I do it in blocks of 1ft from bottom to top, moving across the windscreen) and scrub f****ng hard with the cloth. You need to scrub until [b]no trace[/b] is left on the screen. You will notice the cloth turns quite black - that's all the sh**.

It will be factory spotless. You then shouldn't need to clean the inside of your windscreen again if you do it properly, indefinitely, until some moron touches it. Never, ever, ever, ever, ever, wipe condensation off of it. Sit in your car and wait out the 5-10 minutes for the screen to clear when it's cold outside.

Windowlene or cheap own brand supermarket alternative, and newspaper. As above the trick is to mist from a distance and then wipe it to dry with the paper so as not to smear. Will require a little effort. Then, once this is done never, ever touch the glass...ever. To this end, having moved away from ford and lost the heated demister thing I now have a bag full of silica gel beads that I leave on the dash overnight to absorb any moisture in the air to avoid having to wait 5 mins for the glass to demist while I am in a frantic hurry to get the kids dropped off (not a euphemism)

I've got one of those, it's an old microfibre sunglasses bag I found, and it's filled with kitty litter.
Actually it's the crystal type I got from Wilco's, which is silica gel crystal, cost £3 for a large bag, a couple of kg, I think.
Works really well.
