As winter sets in, and I do a 20 mile commute to and from work, I'm noticing a difficulty in keeping my screens front & rear clean.
Always streaked and dirty.
I never noticed this with previous Q5.
I'm assuming my wipers are ok, as hardly used, so must be the washer liquid I'm using, i.e just pretty basic Tesco or Halford ready mixed.
Anyone have the same issues, which they've found a solution too?
Any home made recipes or special brands which do the job better?
Thanks.

I use the Audi one across all the car and dont have an issue.
On the windscreen however i have noticed the inside getting dirty quicker which annoys me no end.

Give your wiper blades a wipe/clean every now and then to keep them in good condition. You should be doing this every time you clean your car

Costco do bags of 36 microfibre towels for about £13. At that price they're almost disposable but I'm piling the dirty ones up in the garage for wash day.

They're good for general valeting purposes but I also keep a clean one in the car for wiping the inside of the screen.

After washing the vehicle i clean the windows and wiper blades using Autoglym Fast Glass.

Water bottle is filled with Autoglym Ultimate Screen Wash. Adjust dilution ratio in accordance with season.

Thanks for the tips, will give them all a try.
Like Snowman says above, a lot of it seems internal.
When I'm driving in the dark to work, seem to get a constant filmly look out of rear window, like a piece of bad clingfilm has been spread across window.
Opening back windows doesn't help, rear heated window doesn't, must be the inside of window, but clean that regularly with the microfibre.
Annoying, as I usually spend around 18 minutes of my daily 20 minute commute trying to solve it !!!

Sometimes cleaning products can leave a residue.

I'm very wary of using cheap or low quality screen cleaner / additive these days. I've had hell's own problems with the lines clogging, especially the rear one. The length of tube to the back seems to really give problems after a couple of years and its a hell of a job to clear properly. Don't skimp!
