Tinted Windows.
What is safe/good to use to clean tinted windows? I know windex will make the tint turn purple.. so should I just use water or water with a little dish soap? or how about water and vinegar? I'm only to ideas! Thanks Nick

Re: Tinted Windows.
Make sure you stay away from anything with ammonia in it, that is what turns the tint purple. Just to be sure, I always go to the automotive section and get a name brand glass cleaner that specifically says that it is safe to use on tinted windows.

Re: Tinted Windows.
and .... just for kicks, if one used Windex on the tinted windows...and purple spots show, what would you need to do in removing those spots? I havent done that yet.... but thank God i saw this thread before cleaning the car out this afternoon.

Re: Tinted Windows.
ive never seen a car with purple spots, it just turns the whole tint purple gradually over time, and it starts to peel off.
