Have you ever bought "Windex" or other brand name glass cleaner
at the store for ~1.49 +/- change??
I have untill recently paid over $1.50 for about 22oz. of this
stuff...that is untill I decided one day to try using the automotive
washer/anti-freeze window solution sold almost every-where.
The result?..obviously good or I wouldn't be writting this!
The automotive windshield washer fluid/anti-freeze (NOT RADIATOR
ANTI-FREEZE!!!) will cost you under a dollar (it's usually on sale 
for .69~.99)for about a gallon...that seems allot better than paying 
about $1.49 or more for 20~30 oz. of the supermarket type cleaner.

BUT DOES IT CLEAN?...sure does! just as well as the brand name stuff
except that it evaporates a bit faster.  This is presumably due to 
a higher alcohol content to resist winter freezing in your car.

P.S.:
And the best part is that both have the same NEATO blue color...you can
pour the automotive version into the "name brand" bottle to fool
your friends!!!------kind of like pouring "Thunderbird" into a "Rothschild"
bottle...
