Are those Armor All glass cleaning wipes safe for tinted windows?

When cleaning my windshield and LCD screen, I always use those Armor All glass cleaning wipes. My question is, are they safe for tinted windows too? I couldn't find anything on the packaging.

Yeah. They actually work better then the invisible glass wipes. The armourall glass wipes actually work.

Wow...that is crazy...I haven't been a fan of anything ArmorAll for years and years...and never been a fan of anything in wipes. I might have to try them out because glass is my ever living nemesis.

i use Prima Clarity with the proper glass MF towel. these are ok to use on LCD, tint films, even your blackberries/iphones.

^I hate those towels. They stick to the surface too much. I use the glass mf from CG and AG. This glide over the glass and work better. I also use them with IG and CG glass cleaner.

they say any kind of chemical on your tints will cause it to fade faster. warm water + soap and microfiber cloth is the best~

Eagle 1 used to make a great plastic polish spray. It was safe for all window tints.....worked like a charm, and left a smooth protective coating that eliminated finger prints/etc.

I don't know if its still available any longer though.
