I was recommended to buy a glass cloth (from supercheap etc) and just use warm water...
I'm lazy so i've never gotten them to come up perfect but its better than my windex attempt :P

I've found 10% methylated spirits + 90% water is the best. Either use newspaper or some lint-free cloth.

Becareful when using glass cleaners on the tints inside.. the ammonia containing ones can dissolve your precious tint!

Did you get yours tinted aftermarket?

If you bought the car as is without adding tint to it then no. Even the back windows will be fine (privacy glass - no tinting film on the inside)

I use Hot water, boiled from the kettle. Let it cool bit don't want burn your hand! Use a sponge cloth wipe on then an old bonds singlet to wipe off. Inside and out. Well never lets me down. :)

Stacey all of the above will work.

I find it important to keep interior cleaner/polish away from glass as it is hard to remove.

Also never wipe your hands on the windscreen to clear the mist off. The oil from your skin will only make it worse.

Using air conditioner on the windscreen is the best. It dries the air. Not sure if your car does it automatically.
