Try using Stoner Invisible Glass Pump Spray, DP Krystal Vision Glass Cleaner, or Plexus Plastic Cleaner, Protectant & Polish. All of those are safe on tint. Make sure you wipe them off using a good dry microfiber towel.

The Plexus worked pretty well for me. If my microfiber isnt pretty dry itll leave streaks, but thats the case with anything. I just ordered 3 bottles of Stoners, cant wait to try it out.

Dont use anything with ammonia on tint.

I use Meguiars NXT glass cleaner. I use one MF towel for wiping/cleaning and another dry MF towel to rub out the streak's if there is any.

I think glass cleaning is the hardest thing to do. I've found the best way to clean it are the little squeegies (sp?) at gas pumps

Sprayway Glass cleaner, it's a random brand that you can find in most supermarkets. it has no ammonia and it foams up nice when you first spray it. use that with a microfiber cloth and you will have perfect windows. if you buy a good quality class cleaning microfiber towel, you can use just that and water.

The other important thing is to do it when the windows are cooled and in the shade.

I always spray windows and whipe completely down and flip the towel to the dry side to make sure its dry. if you keep whiping windows and its damp, its not going to do anything.
