Question on Invisible Glass/Ammonia

I live Stoner's I/G alot, but does it contain Ammonia or not?
Sure smells like it does. The debate has been that Ammonia
is bad for tinted windows - does this mean factory or A/M tint
or both?

Cleaning glass is harder than the outside I think!
Definitely use towels, not paper towels.

Ammonia is bad for aftermarket tint, the kind they stick to the inside of the window. The OEM tint is within the glass.

I use P/T's, then wipe with a microfiber after.....No problems.

I think NSXNEXT is refering to the tint at the top of the windshield.

oh, okay... in either case, if it smells like there is amonia in it, be safe and don't use it... but for the front windshield..... yes, it should be safe...

you don't have OEM tint then. Your dealer sent the car out to get tinted.


Go look at navigators and such, that is OEM tint the actual glass is tinted. There is no film.
