What is good to use to clean the inside of tinted windows. This is the tint film stuff. I know not to use stuff with amonia, but what do I even use for a cloth, let alone as a cleaner???

Thanks in advance.

Stoner's invisible glass, armorall glass cleaner, eagle one 20/20 any of those will be fine for your tint.

As far as the cloth goes, I would recommend a high quality microfiber towel. That would be very gentle on your tint and is also lint free. If you just want to use something you have @the house you could use newspaper.

I think newspaper on tint is a bad idea, could scratch it. In the past I have used a new clean towel and a spray bottle with alcohol and water. T avoid scratching dont apply too much pressure when wiping.

hey, dont ever use newspaper...period!!! u could use a soft towel, but i wouldn't even use that. The best thing to use is what installers use to put it on...a squeege. go to walmart or homedepot and get the smallest squeege u can find. And as far as a cleaning solution any mild cleaner like dawn or palmolive. just give it a light mist and squeege it dry.

You could also try Plexus. It works great on plastics.

why not windex and an old undershirt?

Windex has amonia in it, therefore can make the tint come off. An old shirt can scratch the film.

I just picked this stuff up this past weekend after hearing lots of great reviews and it is one of the best automotive glass cleaners I have ever used.

i got an even easier and cheaper way, been doing it for years with awsome results, no lines, scratches, haze or anything....


a damp chamoise and elbow grease then if you do have any streaks or swirls ( too much water in the chamoise) then just take a very soft paper towel and dry - VIOLA!

lol ;) :D
