Interior Windows (with tint)

I just got my windows tinted a little over a week ago and the guys left some wipe marks on all my windows. It looks like they got whatever water/mixture it was on the inside of my windshield and wiped it around....

I heard we arent supposed to use ammonia to clean tinted windows

I have a streak about 4" long vertically and 1/4" wide. I am afraid to use window-cleaner and paper towel because it might **** it up worse lol

I used invisible glass on my tint and it didn't do anything to it. On the label I think it also states that it's safe on tint.

if u want THE BEST window and tint cleaner in THE WORLD, go to KRAGEN or PEP BOYS or any other automotive store and get urself a CAN of Stoners invisible glass. This is ammonia free and leaves no streaks whatsoever! i've been using it on my tinted fit for 2.5 years and i have been using it for my mom's tinted camry for 8 years and have never been disappointed. it's the best, hands down. Use newspapers instead of paper towels to clean it cuz it leaves no streaks nor any fibers laying around.

I use windex for cars and it works quite wonderfully.

Do not use news paper on tint, it will leave fine scratches in it.

use your favorite window cleaner that does not contain ammonia in it and a microfiber cloth... been doing that on my tint in my van for 5+ years and have no issues with scratches at all and am doing the same with my fit now.
