Question special window tint cleaner

i've got tint all around ... and this only bothers me if the sun it at just the rite angle ... but it seems like my windows need cleaning

i wipe them off periodically and i windexed them once at the end of last summer, but i'm not sure i'm satisfied

so the question is ... what do people use for cleaning windows w. aftermarket tint?

Plexus, sprayway and hi sheen work real well. Stay away from windex. Its rough on the film. Any good foam cleaner should do the trick.

Please ensure you use a cleaner that is ammonia free. Find a good foam cleaner without ammonia and you're all set!

...I'll second the use of Plexus here, stuff works really well, and very easy to use. Run your finger down one side of a window then after a Plexus application, the results are great.

You can also get it from most motorcycle shops. I use it to clean plastic bits on my bike and helmet. Cyclegear also has the stuff, http://www.cyclegear.com/spgm.cfm?L1...00_G&tier2=276
