    Window cleaner safe for tint?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    What's up guys. Anyone have a recommendation for a window/glass cleaner that is safe to use on tint? I recently had Llumar ceramic tint installed on my S5 and want to make sure I'm using a product that's safe for it.

    I've been using Stoner invisible glass over the years but wondering if there is a better product out there. Thanks in advance!

    Hey there!

    I use a water-only E-Cloth Window Cleaning pack for the interior and exterior windows, https://amzn.to/2Iy7NiS. It works extremely well and requires no sprays, just warm water. My primary go-to for years was the Stoner's Invisible Glass Premium Tint Safe Glass Cleaner, however, it's rarely used since purchasing the E-Cloth.

    HTH!

    Try this. A high end tinter (STM in los Angeles. They train the other Huper Optik installers) suggested this to me and I use have been using it for years. 1 quart of distilled or Reverse Osmosis water. 3 cap fulls of rubbing alchohol (the cap of the rubbing alchohol). 2 drops of Lemon Joy dishwashing soap (it has to specifically be Lemon Joy and the original formulation)

    Please report back on your results

    I have Stoner's lol. Been using it for years, just wondering if there are any newer products out there that you guys have tested. I like testing new stuff. Anyone have experience with Nanolex glass cleaner?

    I love this stuff. I originally got it on a recommendation for cleaning vinyl records because it's ammonia free. I spay it on my rag away from the car to keep it off the paint - usually clean windows directly after washing the car. I could see using it elsewhere on the interior for sure.
    Fool me once, shame on you. But teach a man to fool me, and I'll be fooled for the rest of my life.

    Invisible glass. But the spray can. Not the plastic bottle.

    Anyone use a squeegee on interior windows? I'm thinking about trying this.
