I'll second that, my tint guy uses this stuff religiously and gave me a can and I will admit it works wonders.
Invisible Glass | Miracle Cleaning Products | Glass Cleaner
Stoner Invisible glass is the best window cleaner I've ever used. A close and less costly second is Sprayway glass and stainless cleaner. Neither contain ammonia and both products make good light duty spot carpet cleaners.
+1 on the Stoner. I've already used in on the Forester tinted glass with no ill effects.
I agree 100%! I use the Stoners original formula for the insides (because of the aftermarket tint) and their water repel (purple label) on the outside windows.

Windex contains ammonia.
You should not use it with tint, even factory tint.
I learn the hard way on our new Toyota bought last year. Basically I used Windex on the factory tinted windows once every 2 weeks when I wash my car. For about half a year, through repeated use, there were tiny specs of white bubbles. Very tiny and hard to see, but it is there.
The stoner invisible glass is the way to go. That is all we used for my wife's Forester. So far so good.

Factory tint is the color of the glass! Try cleaning the color off of a beer bottle!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The high tint on the front windshield is on the plastic layer that is sandwiched between layers of glass.
Use all the Windex or anything else that you want. You will not harm the glass. However, that black painty shaddow stuff on the windshield around the mirror may dissolve in strong solvents like laquer thinner, but why would anyone use that?

Factory tint is in the glass itself and cannot be affected any cleaner.
After market tint is a film applied to the interior side of the glass.
The household cleaner Windex contains "Ammonia-D", according to the label.
Ammonia is used to remove window tint films:
can always wax your windows
My brother works for Pella windows and this is ALL they use, I was amazed at this stuff but it is not readily available and by the way, I also use Invisible glass and that is what's in my garage but I will be getting some Moonshine when that runs out.
