Any suggestions for cleaning windows with tint on them? I hear there are special tint cleaning products but hoping that some basic household stuff can do it? Lemme know?

 

www.tintdude.com has some helpful info

i heard you spray ammonia on it and cover it with a plastic bag.. then take it off after some time....

but...
what i did is go to pepboys and pick up a tint removal kit.. it includes a solution and some other stuff... u can spray it on your window after u peel the tint film off and then scrape off the sticky residue with a razorblade...

 

I just use regular windows cleaner on there, haven't had a problem yet.

 

I dont think he wants to get rid of his tint. Anyway I was instructed NOT to use anything ammonia based (windex...), but to use something alcohol based.

 

just og to you local auto parts store they sale a some stuff in a spray can that is good for tint cant think of the name but its in a puple can

 

I think any window cleaner will do as long as it says safe for tint somewhere on the bottle.

 

FYI - Window cleaner w/ amonia tends to turn black tint purple after prolonged use.

 

I use Eagle 1 Window Cleaner. I bought it at AutoZone and it says safe for tinted windows right on the bottle. It's ammonia free.

try vinegar and water, and use a newspaper to clean it, saw this years ago on a detail video, i think if you use regular window cleaner, eventually your tint will turn purple

 

dude just get some eagle one, or anything for that matter, that says tint safe. its true, ammonia will turn your tints purple. the alcohol in window cleaner does nothing but make the liquid evaporate faster to avoid streaking. it is harmless for the tints.

 

tintdude.com has been dead for about two months.

 

I rarely have to clean my 5 windows that are tinted. but when i do i jus wet up a washcloth and wipe over the window and then take a dry one and wipe. works good everytime. i do the same with my dash because i hate to spray something on there cause it seems that it atracts more dust. and when im at a traffic lighth i just take my feather duster and dust away.

 

the guy who's tinted 3 of my cars says the best and cheapest method to clean windows w/ tint is to use regular windshield washer fluid in a spray bottle. you know, the kind you you can get at walmart for $1/gallon.

 

Windex has a window cleaner with vinegar instead of ammonia. I've used it for a long while and it works great!

 

ah
i'm an idiot
i misunderstood him then...

What one tint shop told me is to just clean it with regular bath soap and water... But that tint shop did do a horrible job on my 1st car so i dont know how much truth there is in that.

 

my window tint shop say just use water & wipe it...

 

.... with a soft cloth that wont scratch the tint.
