I've ha d a few attempts lately at cleaning the the inside screen on my car without the greatest of success. Anyone got any tips on shifting that greasyish film?

Vinegar on newspaper

What have you been using? I usually wipe over with a proprietary cleaner (Autoglym's is good) then wipe that off with damp newspaper.

Just any decent glass cleaner, can take a few goes depending on how dirty it is

A brick and then claim on the insurance.

Tfr , then windowleen or whatever she's got in the cleaning cupboard.

As said above, any glass cleaner will work perfectly. Lidl stuff is great and very cheap.

Isopropyl alcohol works well.

Ipa, cleans without smearing and won’t attack the trim

Green King or Stone Brewery?

Considering how really important a clean screen can be on a stormy winter's night, just go buy something good. IPA is definitely second best; too volatile really. Of course, for anyone who wears specs, looking through 4 refracting surfaces is always more problematic.

Methylated spirits.

T Cut ,if the screen is really bad nicotine etc , leave it on after using,put the heater on until it dries then buff it off. Normally use Fastglass

Have noticed that some vehicle brands are worse for this than others, Fords especially.

Green King or Stone Brewery?

Neither I prefer stuff I can drink

Just glass cleaner - but it has to be cleaned off - plenty of kitchen paper towel used with some elbow grease.

And wipe horizontally - read years ago it helps to keep issues with looking through streaks to a minimum - it's seemed to work for me for 30 odd years.

I just use a cheap glass cleaner from Tesco's and lots of clean blue paper roll. Give it a good blast with the cleaner then wipe it off and repeat but use a new dry piece of blue paper to do the final polish off. It should squeak when its really clean.

Good 100% cotton T-shirt is my chosen rag and household glass cleaner (the green stuff in a spray bottle)..doing all my vehicles this weekend as a dirty screen is always exaggerated by a low Autumn/winter sun.

Tried the vinegar, it works if you want to drive around in a chip shop ( may be I should dilute it ) . The glass cleaner also smeared badly but as said plenty of elbow grease. Thanks for the the input guys.

The screen on my Ranger is terrible.
