    i use a mix of 4 parts vinegar, 4 parts water, 1 part windex. i clean once with paper towels and once with newspaper. the newspaper is more of a buffing sort of motion with very little liquid. this gets rid of the littlest streaks and leaves no lint like the paper towels. i'm a little OCD about my glass...

    Same here. I used to work in optics before i moved to china (making lenses for spectacles) so had millions upon millions of microfiber cloths laying around at home. Gives the tank a great shine

    Invisible Glass with newspaper. Paper towels have drying/absorbent agents in them which leaves streaks.

    Mag-Float, Sonic Scrubber (my latest impulse buy), paper towels, and sometimes my shirt sleeve! ;)
