So I've tried using the squeegee and towels and paper towels. They all have left streaks or water marks. So what's a good method of cleaning and wiping down our windows?

for me, I usually wash my car then dry from top to bottom.

then I use Stoner's Invisible Glass as well. or any other automotive glass cleaner. Don't use windex or home window cleaners (they have ammonia in them and will kill your plastic) look for ammonia free cleaners.

and then I use a waffle weave glass towel.

"While microfiber glass towels work great, you can go crazy trying to keep the different towels and their purposes straight. You can end up with dark blue, light blue, green, orange and pink towels, which can get nuts! The waffle weave glass towels are the best general-purpose towels, and they work great on glass and clear plastic.
If you're looking for a specific glass microfiber towel, generally the towels with a deep, plush nap do not work well on glass. The best microfiber towels for glass have a low pile and a tight weave. The tight weave gives them a little more scrubbing power."
