Windex and Window tint???

[Mac0485]

Hey i just got a used car that has some nice window tint on it. My old 93 325i had some tint on it also and it seemed like using windex to clean the windows made the tint bubble up or chip after some time. Is Windex safe to use on cars with window tint? If its not, what would you recomend cleaning tinted windows with? Thanks for the help.

Windex, or anything containing ammonia is not recommended for tinted windows....

u can normally use Windex to help take off the tint actually

Thats exactly what I dont want to happen. What else would you use to clean tinted windows?

DO NOT USE WINDEX ON TINTED WINDOWS!!!! EVER!!!!


I use Eagle One 20/20 Perfect Vision glass cleaner, it doesn't have Amonia in it, so its safe for tinted windows. Basically ANYTHING without Amonia in it will work fine, products that contain Amonia causes tint to turn purple and peel.

Try mixing up some simple green at the window cleaning strength, I used it on my madico tint and never had a problem, crystal clear too. Use a soft towel.

I rocked water on a paper towel. Did the trick everytime. Kept my tint looking new like the day I got it.
