you should be fine with the Eagle 20/20, it doesn't harm window tint (and is good stuff )

oops ... i used a generic brand window cleaner like windex...

gonna be vinigar and water from now on. I actually heard that somebody used newspaper and windex compared to vinigar / water mixture and newspaper to clean windows and the vinigar solution was more streak free and cleaner than windex ...

I wouldn't clean tint with newspaper though, it *may* scratch the tint. Newspaper does work great for cleaning your windsheild, no streaks when you are driving in the sun.

Yeah if you can find amonia free window cleaner you can use that. Newspaper is really good but I don't know how well it would work on tint. I would stick with paper towel

DO NOT USE AMMONIA, that will turn your tint to Purple

We use hard plastic cards when we install tint. It will only scratch if you have something big and sharp like a knife.

Again, don't use any cleaner with ammonia. Also, do not use newspaper when cleaning tinted windows as the paper fibers can scratch the tint. The same goes for paper towels.

I've found using water and a microfiber towel works best. Interior windows generally don't as dirty as the exterior (bugs, bird crap, etc.) so water is enough to get them clean.
