I believe what I've been told it's the ammonia/alcohol - best to use cleaner without it.

I keep a 1 gallon jug in the shop and refill a small spray bottle when needed.

Any tint guys that can explain the issue?
I've been told to stay away from ammonia with window tint.

30+ years I've always used Windex and newspaper on all my vehicles with and without tint, never a problem.

I tried this but it still started taking it off, unless the cloth I was using was doing it

Thank you for the suggestions, I'll be looking into these cleaners you all mentioned. It's a great start!

Either old or very poor quality tint eg: cheap. I only use Llumar or 3m on my vehicles and have never had any issues.

I've had Llumar brand tint on several vehicles over the years as well. Invisible Glass works just fine without issues on those and factory tint. My two cents.
