Yep. Stoners Invisible Glass is good stuff.

Any cleaner that doesnt have amonia in it should be safe for your tinted windows is what i was told when i got mine tinted.

Invisible glass here as well. Never use anything with ammonia to clean tinted windows.

As it was stated earlier, all you really need to do is stay away for ammonia based cleaners (i.e. Windex). The ammonia accelerates the deterioration of the dyes in the film and thus in nearly all cases causes the tint to become Purple. Really, with tint all you need is a damp rag and a dry towel. Tint is a laminated product and cleans up really nicely with just a little water and a dry towel. No cleaning solutions needed.

Yup - I think Stoners Invisible Glass is to windows, as Zaino is to paint.

I am up to 10 coats of Stoners on my winshield.
