We just had our bug tinted and the guy says not to use windex on the tint. What do you use to clean the inside of the windows that have the Tint on them?

Anything that doesn't have ammonia. Walmart has a spray window cleaner that is in a blue and white can called Sprayway Glass Cleaner. Good stuff.

I don't have tinted windows but I read this somewhere
Windex will ruin the film. Glass plus won't.Or you can make a home solution of vinegar and water and wipe with a soft cloth. Paper towels will scratch the film.

I use Stoner Invisible Glass cleaner. Comes in an aerosol can, does not contain ammonia. It is safe for our tinted windows. It does a really good job, leaves the windows really slick
