Default window cleaner

what is a good window cleaner without ammonia? the window tint guy said to not use ammonia and not touch or roll down windows for 3 days.

Invisible Glass is awesome. I use it and its window tint safe meaning that it doesnt have ammonia. Its about 4 bucks at walmart and it keeps the windows clean for long periods of time. Even when it rains it keeps the windows clean.

also at top of the rear windshield there is this wierd white lined kinda junk, i read into it and it is something to do with the "dots" on the windshield from the manufacturer. is the easiest way to cover this up to get a rear windshield decal?

my source is http://www.tintdude.com/care.html

when my stepbrother got his windows tinted on his truck, the guy told him that the best thing to use for cleaning his windows was a couple drops of johnsons baby soap mixed in a spray bottle with water. he said that alot of the cleaners that are ammonia free, still arent safe for tint, it will make it turn purple and bubble.

i heard they turn purple if you get cheap performance tint and let it bake in the sun. my tint is lifetime guaranteed to not fade or turn purple, as far as bubble, i thought that was either dirt or air. i think the safe bert may be a wet paper towel.

my tint had some bubbles on the passenger side but they went away after a week besides one. and it's very small but if it's not gone with in a couple days the guy said he'd just put a new tint on that window for free. oh and i use windex on my windows

yeah that is what i heard. even if your tint has warranty it is prob in fine print somewhere that if u use a cleaner w/ammonia it will void it.

i use the windex on the outside of the glass. as far as the inside i have had to clean those yet but thanks for the heads up. i'll have to go to safeway or something and find something that i can use then.
