Re: Weird streaks on windows
Hooter,
Funny you mention it (and I didn't want to b!tch), but yes, it takes forever for the inside of my doors to dry out after I wash (or it rains hard). I am a little concerned about that too!
Also, somebody in this thread said not to use Windex on tint. For real? This is my first car with tint, so I haven't a clue. I usually just use a slightly damp mircrofiber towel to clean my windows. So far, Windex is the only thing I have found that cleans of that grease/glue or whatever the he!! it is. I have a 3 year warranty on the tint and a 4 year lease - should I be concerned? What will Windex do to the tint?

Re: Weird streaks on windows
I am not having the "grease" streak problem, just the wet that screws up my clean window after I have detailed the car.
The windex is bad due to the ammonia, I was told. Apparently it will discolor the tint over time. Of course tints may have evolved to be less affected.
I have been using a bottle of "Plastic Polish" made by Eagle one for years to clean the window tint on the inside of the windows. It works great and I have never had a problem.

Re: Weird streaks on windows
hey JN, any windex with ammonia shouldnt be used for tint, it will create a layer of film on the window, thats as far as i know... There are tons of car window cleaners that are tint-safe at your local auto parts stores like Murray's or AutoZone
good luck!

I believe that the ammonia can also affect the adhesive that bonds the tint to your windows. In fact one of the ways that they REMOVE tint is to tape a plastic film covering the window that is saturated with an ammonia solution so the fumes loosen the tint. They then clean off the remaining residue with ammonia.
