    Hey I was wondering what tricks you guys used to clean your tinted windows with. I heard windex can turn the windows like purple. Ice heard vinegar and water mixture works but what do you guys use

    Baby Shampoo and Water, im not sure what the proper ratio is but u dont mix 50/50.... just a little bit of baby shampoo and mostly water.... windex will eventually eat at your tint and start flaking it inside.

    Invisible glass works well. I heard if you use newspapers instead of towels, it works even better.

    It'd prolly work but I would imagine it would leave streaks worse than a cleaning agent

    i've had the best results with dishsoap and water.

    do one window at a time. start with soapy water[doesn't need to be strong whatsoever] and a rag, rinse with straight water by rag, dry with microfiber towel. no streaks, and costs maybe a quarter.

    My dad will not use anything just straight water in a spray bottle. Never has any streaks. He loves his tahoe.

    Stoners Invisible Glass works just fine for me. Been using it since I could drive and started detailing cars.

    A damp chamois and water. Add a dry microfibre towel if you overdampen the chamois.

    Maybe if you want to remove the tint. I use Stoners Invisible Glass. Anything that does not have ammonia will be fine.
