Streak-free windows w/tint? (Inside)
What/how do you guys get the inside of your windows clean and streak free? I was driving today in the morning, and saw all the nasty greasy finger marks and streaks all over from my windows, especially the front and back... 
I have tint on the windows, so I'm not sure what to use.... I used to use a vinegar and water solution, but I don't think it's safe for my windows anymore...
Someone used to say newspaper would be the best? Any 'home' remedies out there, without buying a $10 solution???

All you need is a damp terry cloth and a dry one. Water will clean your tinted windows as good as any cleaner will and it's a lot safer. However, no one ever believes that water will do the job so I know I am wasting my breath, I mean fingers.
Anyhow, if ya want, put a drop of soap in with a squirt bottle of water. Try it, you'll be very surprised.

They make window cleaner for tinted windows, just go look, I know they have it at wal-mart, supposedly you're not supposed to use regular window cleaner on tinted windows......[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

i wouldnt recommend newspaper for tint, it might scratch it... but ya i also use water too, it actually works... you might have to go over a couple times tho. but as for cleaners, just make sure it doesnt have ammonia... i heard stoners inviglass or something was good.. i know its made by stoners, dont know the actual name of the product tho.
yeah i use cleaner just thats just for tint, think I got it at pep boys, but it doesnt matter cause I soon as I clean them, put them down, then roll them back up, they are all streaky again from being rolled down. Its almost impossible to keep the windows streak free!

Eagle One makes a glass cleaner that works really well with no streaks and is safe for tinted windows, the stuff is clear and smells good too and I'm pretty sure its non-toxic. I've used it about 5 times now and I like it
eagle one 20/20 cleaner is what I use for my windows. Tint safe (ammonia free), works great. Water works great too but I find the eagle one is faster, its cheap (i have had a bottle i bought 10 mos ago, its still more than 1/2 full it cost $4 CDN) and comes in a handy dandy spray bottle.
