Just got off the phone with Kim in customer service- no problem using it on tinted windows.She does recommend spraying it on to a cloth first - microfiber preferably!

Ditto! I prefer the foam in the can to the spray liquid in the bottle, FWIW.

Gotta be careful with the aerosol spray though; you need to make sure there isn't any wind (not even the slightest bit) or else it'll go everywhere.

Try a national-chain auto parts store like Chief (saw some there on Saturday...in San Clemente).

aquapel is excellent, i did not have success with it on the lexus but it lasted a while on the benz pilkington glass. For a cleaner I really like eagle one 20/20.

BMW FTW
I have been using a spray bottle filled with rubbing alcohol I find that works the best since when it evaporates it leaves no spots. I haven't used it on the inside of the car not sure on what it will do to tinted windows but I will give it a try in the next few days since I plan on getting my windows re tinted.

I used to use Invisible Glass but found that sometimes it would leave odd streaks that could only be seen in certain light conditions with my sunglasses on, but I will say I am very very picky and maybe have a little OCD when it comes to keeping the windshield spotless.

Thumbs up Glass Cleaners

I have and use Stoner's Invisable Glass and Eagle One 20/20 and think they are both good products. Both are available at our local AutoZone.

As to the film tinted windows, it seems like all of the automobile oriented glass cleaners claim to be safe for that. I'm wondering how the isopropyl alcohol did though?

windex is not recommended for automotive glass, not good for interior materials.

I have heard that too.
