As long as it's standard glass and not coated glass, Liberon 0000 grade steel wool.

I use the blue tissues from lion and use them virtually dry very little cleaner it usually comes of at the point at which the cleaner has gone. Also some glass is better than others, I had a whole crate of streaky glass serious PITA.
