Self Cleaning Glass
Self-cleaning glass is a specific type of glass with a surface which keeps itself free of dirt and grime through photo catalytic decomposition.
The glass cleans itself in two stages. The "photo catalytic" stage of the process breaks down the organic dirt on the glass using ultraviolet light and makes the glass hydrophilic (normally glass is hydrophobic). During the following "hydrophilic" stage rain washes away the dirt, leaving almost no streaks, because hydrophilic glass spreads the water evenly over its surface.

On the other hand It does not work on heavy soiling and is much more expensive than normal glass
Magnetic Window Wizard
This Product is basically magnets attached to two window cleaners that are placed either side of your window. This should allow you to clean the inside and outside at the same time. A good product for thin windows and ground floor windows but when used at a higher level I think it poses a danger if the magnets are not strong enough and lose magnetism with each other therefore falling. Also you have to open the window and let warm air escape to use the product. Good product in theory but would also create friction when used so not suitable for older generation or less weak users.
Reviews from “Amazon” confirms poor usability and design
Rain Racer
Rain Racer is a product that using chemicals To Create a small polymer film over the glass to stop penetration of dirt and other liquids into the first layer. It is chemically safe to use on showers, sinks fish tanks etc but does need to be reapplied after a certain period of time depending how much the surface is touched and worn away. It is relatively cheap and less expensive than self cleaning glass. It also has been in development for over 16 years so it is tried and tested. It does not work on heavy soiling
