Cleaning tint

Ok i have tint on my windows and when i installed my rear speakers (everyone nows the PITA it is to replace those darn things) i left alot of finger prints and skin oil spots on the glass. Well my installer said do not use chemicals on the glass but i am wondering if normal windex (can not find w/o amonia) will be ok or is it to harsh on the tint. Need help asap because i am going to meet up with our clubs sponcers and they want to look at all the cars and if you look in the rear veiw mirror all you see is the spots. Looking for something i can just go pick up at autozone or at a grocery store.

Warm water and washing up liquid. Anything else is a little harsh and will damage the tint in the long term. The washing up liquid will break down the grease gently. Then polish with a soft cloth to get rid of the streaks.

Do NOT use normal Windex. The amonia in the Windex will mess up the tint. Go pick up something like Invisible Glass or Gunk Amonia Free Glass Cleaner. I saw Windex actually makes an auto-specific glass cleaner that in tint-safe. Just check all the glass cleaners and make sure they don't have amonia in them and you should be safe. Just make sure you don't sure normal Windex.

It'll be fine. That stuff works on just about everything. It's like a wonder fluid.
