    i just tinted my windows a while back, and its time to clean them, i used to use a old T shirt and glass cleaner on my truck, and used paper towels one time and scratch it up good. so i know better already.

    so i was wondering what you guys use to clean the inside of your tinted windows?

    Glass Plus was reccomended by the shop that did my moms truck. That and newspaper or microfiber should get er done.

    Water and a microfiber. I don't get dirt on the inside of my windows, so just have to get the dust off occasionally.

    I use worlds best glass cleaner in an aerosol can and a microfiber. You can wash the microfiber and reuse them tons of times.

    you can wash em out just like any other cloth in a washing machine. Always a good idea to keep them clean. You don't need to clean it out after every use or anything like that, just once they start really getting dirty

    50/50 mixture of white vinegar and water with old newspaper or paper towels. You won't scratch the tint using paper towels or newspaper with a good quality tint.
