i got little bubbles in my tint

i bought some stuff to try to clean my tint ... it said tint safety, but when i used it, all of a sudden little bubbles started to appear. If there a way to fix this someone please tell me and also what does everyone else use to clean theres?

I use Stoner's Invisible Glass or Eagle One 20/20. Most likely the bubbles were already there and you just noticed them while cleaning.

most likely, it was not amonia free, or maybe it was?? what brand was it?? if it wasn't that's why, because that is what is used to remove tint. by the way when i clean my tint i just use a wet paper towel and dry the windows off, it works great and it's free!!!

WTF?!?!?!?! RainX on your interior windows? No wonder it bubbled! No way to remove them without having it redone.

you expecting a rainstorm inside your car??

didn't the place you got your tint done tell you the best way to clean it is simply with warm water? that's what i've always used and it works just fine.

But why were you using rain x on your interior for? What exact product by rainx did you use?

pick up a bottle of eagle one 20/20... its ammonia free and costs all of $4 for a bottle to last a few years.

and.. regular windex will kill your tint
