Sounds pretty much the same on our end.We always do this for the outside
windows and slider, works like a charm, easy and streak free. Saves time and
the wear and tear of climbing ladders. I use a long handled wiper with a
cloth to swab the solution on.

2 1/2 gal warm water
1 Tbsp liquid "jet dry"
2-3 Tbsp liquid laundry detergent or dishwashing soap

Mix all of the ingredients above. Spray your windows down with your hose to
get them wet then wipe or brush the solution onto your windows.
Let sit for a minute or so then hose it off.

The remaining water just sheets off and you don't need to dry it at all.
