For more that 25 years and many different airplanes , I have used Lemon Pledge and some soft paper towels on plastic windshields. Never a problem.Sick of leftover streaks, windshield worse after cleaning than before. What is the best or best bang for the buck going now? How about the cloth?

+1 on the pledge
Excellent tip, I was taught the same thing. Clean up and down. Only use circles when actually polishing.I used pledge for years. Problem was that I had to use Rain-x to help in rain showers.
Somehow I was given a can of plexus (spelling) to try. WOW! cleaned better than pledge, and would shed water was well as Rain-x for a couple of days, so every cleaning was like a rain-x treatment!
I use a very soft polishing cloth like sold at the auto stores. Paper towels will live microscopic scratches, that when flying into the sun blinds you.
One tip: don't go in circles, use up and down, side to side to reduce the sunburst scratch problem on the windshield.
Don't use glass cleaner on Plexi, it has ammonia in it.
Cheapest place I have found to by Plexus http://www.jcwhitney.com/jcwhitney/textsearch_result.jcw?sku=plexis&shopid=100001
