Default window tint questions

i am going to get my windows tinter in the next month or so im gettin 25% all the way around i think it will look effin sweet but i have a few questions
1. will it effect my window defrosters ?
2.will i have to worry about it coming off on the rear quarter windows cuz of the large patch of heating element on the back edge of the glass?
3. what is the best glass cleaner to use on tinted windows?
i use armorall automotive glass cleaner right not and i have heard that some glass cleaner will ruin your tint and make it bubbel and turn purple

dont use any cleaner with ammonia in it.
as far as the rear window, you have nothing to worry about as long as they do a decent install.

When they do the back window just make sure they don't go to the top all the way where those black dots are? On the rear window! I'm pretty sure the stangs have that. The tint will bubble and peel if those are coverd. Most places cut the tint just below that to prevent that from happenening. I have 20% on the sides and nothing on the back(I have those louvers). This way I can see to back up into my crammed garage and also to see if there are cops behind me..lol It's wierd, from the side the car is all blacked out, but then you stand in front of the car and it looks like there's no tint at all! I like it's diff.

"invisable glass" or "no more streaks" are the two best things to clean windows IMO

that shouldnt happen at all if its done properly. it might be a little bubbled, but it wont peel if its done right.

sorry to dig up old posts but

is there a way to get rid of the little dots or bumps what ever you want to call them ?

i am trying to tint the windows in my 92 lx and the glass there at the back seat has those dots all the way around i tried tinting over them but it looks like crap to me, the car is black and it looks good blacking it out but those dots keep it from laying down flat and from the outside it looks terrible, is there anyway to fix it ?

thanks for the help
