Martin is correct on the window cleaning cloths. They work best when dry.
I had a "sponge like disc" that was an awesome window cleaner. It was made
if chamois leather, just like those old school bike racers used.
But I would stop short at using your bike racing chamois to clean the
window.
But if you do.... make sure you clean the windows before you ride.

You can accomplish much the same thing with just a very lightly damped
micro-fiber cloth. They can be found in most any automotive section with the
cleaning/waxing supplies. After years of being a somewhat anal car guy, I've
completely given up on all the liquid windshield cleaners for the inside of
the windows (unless you get Armor-All or some such on the windshield - then
you need Windex or something to get it off). They all streak and haze and
often make it look even worse. All you need is micro-fiber.

I know it looks like one of those cheesy products that would never work but,
I have it and it's one of the easiest ways to keep the windshield clean and
streak free. Most of the time I only use water to remove the haze.
