I Auto Finnesse only on the outside and for the inside I don't think that you can go wrong with Autoglym Car Glass Polish, the trick with this is not to use too much.

No problem. A decent glass cloth is a worthy purchase too. The tighter weave on a glass cloth helps loads.

I also use Autoglym Fastglass on the internal glass.  Have used Auto Finesse internally in the past but not too keen on it.

Externally I clean all glass the Autoglym, and if I'm waxing the car then all external glass gets waxed too at the same time, EXCEPT the windscreen.  I don't use anything else on front windscreen as I find it buggers up the wipers, juddering, squeaking etc.  Used to use RainX but had nothing but problems after using it.  So the windscreen is kept product free and no issues.

As Neil says, a waffle window cloth is essential, much better than a microfibre as it has more 'bite'.
