it is NOT okay. Anything with ammonia will bubble your tint. Personally, I prefer Invisible Glass (Stoner's). Many people prefer many things.

The bottom line is that you should make sure it says "Tint-safe" or "ammonia free" on the bottle!

Well, I just posted one that has always gotten me by, and a lot of other forum goers will recommend as well. Read my post.

If the SunGuard is built into the glass (the blue tint) then it won't matter what sort of glass cleaner you use.

cool i'll look at walmart for some and then pepboys/autozone if wally world doesn't have it.

what can i use to protect the exterior plastic and to clean and protect the leather? I have a roof rack, black door handles, and other stuff like that and obviuosly it fades like horrible - i bought lexol leather cleaner, conditioner, and lexol vinylex for the plastic so i hope that stuff works well. i just hate armorall b/c it seems like when u use it it looks ok but smells and then it looks worse longterm and on the exterior armorall washes off after 5 minutes
