Is there some magic to glass cleaning that I am missing
I get it clean enough but then I start noticing the smears, the more I clean and polish the more I find
What do others do  Geoff

Housewife's choice is vinegar and newspaper.

The key with any cleaning is to first remove all the dirt and soil, using a detergent with warm water, then rinse to remove any traces of detergent.

Then your specialist product, in this case, glass cleaner. Vinegar or acetic acid, which is what it is, is good for this, but may depend on any finish you may have on the glass (tints etc)

Also, try letting it dry, then polish off with lint free or microfibre .
Experience is the only genuine knowledge, but as time passes, I have forgotten more than I can remember
