Stoners or Plexus.

Do not use Windex or any cleaner with ammonia. It will turn your tint purple.

Buy the Windex, or whatever knock-off brand without amonia, and spray it on your cleaning cloth. Do not spray it directly on the window. Some people say newspaper's the best way to go.

Windex on the outside and good old fashion water on the inside.

I use simple White vinegar and water. about 3 parts water to 1 part vinegar. Newspapers if I have them, if not I always use 7th Generation recycled paper towels (I only buy recycled paper) and my windows are C L E A N. You can use #0000 steel wool on the outside but obviously not on the inside where the tint is.
