Actually, water with a very slight soap content works
better.  Ammonia based cleaners eat plastics for
lunch.  If you've got a lot of extra $$ laying around,
go windex a tinted window, then let it sit in the sun
for a few hours.  Snap, crackle & pop - no more tint.

Or you can just take my word for it.... ;)
