What do you guys use to clean the inside of film-tinted windows, like the insides of the rear windows and screen on an IS200 Sport ?

I see that on the back of the bottle of Autoglym Car Glass Polish it says not to use it for this purpose, but to use Fast Glass instead.

Also, is it safe to put stickers on the inside ? e.g. if you remove the sticker it won't damage the tinting ?

Are the rear windows on the IS200 Sport film tinted? I always thought the glass was tinted...........

Well, that's a good question. I thought it was film tinted because it looks like one of mine has a scratch through the film on it, and I wouldn't have thought that would be possible if it was a proper tint.

the place that tinted my rears said use Mr.Muscle Window cleaner.

Just had a close look and it looks like my assumption was wrong, what I thought was a scratch through film was in fact a white mark, doh ! tomato.gif

So I think the windows are indeed tinted glass.

yea the sports model has tinted glass and should be safe to clean with anything were as i tinted my se windows and it was a nasty car to do. you can tell if they tinted or no with film. the heater element on is200 rear screen is real thick so you will see a slight whitish line either side of the elements and also you will notice slight whitness on the dot matrix around the rear screen. if it is film do not use amonia based cleaners. i just use a cloth with water and on to dry. rear screen is hard to clean because of the speaker covers in the parcel shelf

If it is film, as said, best to just use soapy warm water and a cloth.

the answer=

On glass, (tint in the glass or no tint)- use a window cleanier, if possible use a mircofiber cloth
On tint Film- use window cleaner diluted with 50% water, if possible use a mircofiber cloth
