Stoners Invisible glass and bounty paper towels. Works perfectly. Spray, wipe, wipe again till dry. Safe for tint.

But what is the best way to clean the interior windshield? The angle is frustrating, and everything smears?

Yeah I agree, its very difficult to get a spot free job done on the inside of the windshield.

I thought I saw some neat little triangular microfiber pad with a handle, just for windshields. Something with a small microfiber pad on a flexible ball and socket joint, with a 14" handle would be perfect. You could get the whole windshield done, side to side without stopping and leaving streaks.

.....

But anyway, on Stoners Invisible Glass. Pick it up at Advance or WallyWorld. GREAT stuff! Everytime I use it, I just have to stand back and drool over my windows. Been using it on my tint for over 3yrs and NO fading/purpleness whatsoever.

is vinegar/water combo safe enough for tint? is there a specific type of vinegar to use? All commercially available window cleaners SUCK, tried them all and very dissapointed.

I've had no success removing the ugly marks on the inner side of the door windows, along the top. I tried the window cleaner, then soapy water, even the eraser, and finally gave up. Once the windows are rolled up, that's it. How to prevent this?

I keep a microfiber towel in the car, and in the morning when I'm driving towards the sun, and I see the film on the inside of the glass glaring... the microfiber towel takes off the film without streaking or smearing PERFECTLY.
