Bar none the best window cleaner I have used is Zaino's Z-12 Clear-View Glass Polish.-

For everyday cleaning I recommend Stoner's Invisible glass.-



Avaliable through auto parts stores.

isopropyl alcohol in a spray bottle.

No streaks and one of the best things to clean tint with. Also removes grease and grime better than most cleaners on the market.

You can't beat Stoners Invisible glass - cheap, works great, widely available. It removes mild water spotting. It's not harmful to your interior. It "sticks" to vertical surfaces better than most.

Hope they don't get mad for direct linking.

This stuff works GREAT. It foams so it makes it easier to clean slanted surfaces.

Ammonia is the worst thing for tint.

Ammonia is not good for the interior of any car.

I use a sheet of crumpled newspaper. It leaves your windows totally lint-free.

Invisible Glass is hands down, the best window cleaner I've ever tried. One can lasts forever, doesn't drip when sprayed, and can remove some pretty nasty stuff. I've even used it to take duct tape residue off the inner side of my window, and I have a tint! Excellent stuff.

I've found Z-6 not only puts a shine on your polish but your windows too. I use the same micro-fiber towels for the windows with excellent results. (no tint)

I use Invisible Glass to clean and then put on a layer of Z-6.
