Invisible Glass. But whatever you use, the best way to avoid streaks is to make sure you wipe it completely dry - when you think it's dry, wipe it dry again.

Might this cleaner help that?

I like meguiars glass cleaner. I always use 2 microfiber cloths. One to spread the glass cleaner and a dry one for a final buff. Ive also used detail spray on the exterior windows while doing the rest of the car.

I use Stoners Invisible Glass and Sprayway and dedicated microfibers.
When I do windows, I wipe the exterior glass with a vertical motion, the interior glass with a horizontal motion. That way, if there are any streaks, the direction the streak is in tells me which side of the glass needs to be redone.

+1 to this guy. Glass cleaning microfibers work wonders as they don't lint and their extremely short nap gives a lot of "bite." I use Meguiar's Glass Cleaner Concentrate (only sold in gallon sizes and dilutes 15:1) mixed with pure water (0 ppm) using the same method.
Keep in mind that if things are bad - you can put money down you'll have to clean at least twice.
