I've heard that Stoner's IG is good, as is Sprayway Aerosol. They are alchohol based. Just be gentle.

I recommend first going over the tint with a soft, wet cloth to remove most of the dust. If you've ever had glasses with plastic lenses, you'll know what i mean. Rubbing dust around canscratch the plastic tint.

Good luck.

Another vote for Sprayway. No fancy marketed containers, it just works.

It is a foaming spray.

If you want a cheap, decent alternative window cleaner, you can always make your own with 1 part white vinegar, 1 part isopropyl alcohol, and 3 parts distilled water.

Srayway does the job for me!
Newpaper is also good to use if you don't want streaks.

OR if you're a cheapskate like me, you can put 2-3 drops of dish detergent in 2-3 cups of water, put solution into a spray bottle and go to work!

I just got my windows tinted as well. My next mod was having rear speakers and sub upgraded and I managed to get fingerprints all over the rear windshield. Called the tint guy up and the above is what he recommended. Oh, and it worked like a charm.
