              I think everyone uses Sun Gard. Could be wrong, I know little about tint.

                i sprayed it on the inside of my drivers side window and noticed a bunch of patches.. so i didnt know if it was from the windex or if it was always there and i just didnt notice it.

                  sometimes u can not use the city water source atleast up here in Devils Lake, we were tinting windows one day, and there was like little pieces of sand or something in the water we noticed it after we tryed to put the tint on , left major air bubbles, so had to go buy some distilled water and then it worked great, another option is buy the tint on stuff from walmart it works pretty good to.

                  2007 GMC Yukon Denali Got Rid of the Van WHOOOO

                    Use soapy water and a clean rag. . .Then dry it with a towel. . .I've had tint since I've had a car and it has always worked for me. . .and doesn't streak. . .Windex gets on your dash and stuff and is a pain to clean up. . .Hope that helps

                      Uh, duh its not fine! use soap and water or rubbing alcohol. Windex contains ammonia which fill fade tint.

                      How many times has he^ been wrong?

                        Anything with ammonia WILL make your tint foggy / turn it purple.

                        DO NOT use windex.
