Post Zaino Z-12 Question??

I was wondering, can I use the Z-12 Window polish on the inside of my windows as well since I have window tint on them?

NO, you shouldn't use Z12 on window tint, ever. It's much too abrasive for the tint. If you need to clean your tinted windows, I'd suggest a mild soap and water. Or, a cleaner that is mild enough to be used on tint such as Eagle1's 20/20 for example. Z12 is meant for glass surface ONLY.

What brand of soap would be good? I think dawn would probably be considered not mild.

Also, that's a sweet guitar you got there. I had KH3, since Kirk seems to be my favorite since I play lead too, and I loved it but I hated that it was bolt on instead of neck thru like his so it was extremely hard to hit the higher frets since it was a les paul so I traded it for a custom shop ESP that was neck thru and kinda like Kirks KH2 because the back of the next isn't painted black, it's laquered and it's got a reverse headstock. The body is black and it's got EMG 81s. I think it's sweet and it feels like better quality than the KH2 since it was made in Japan but your is so rare, is you ever sell it, youll make a lot of money off of it. Sweet guitar

Thumbs up

Yeah, dawn wouldn't be too good either IMO. Any decent car wash soap, i.e. Zaino Z7, should work fine. You can wet a cotton rag/towel and mix in just a dab of car shampoo and lather it up just a bit. Then, gently go over the tint with the towel. You may want to finish with a dry towel to remove leftover water or streaks. Or a quick detailer type product would work too, as long as it doesn't contain any wax. I use Zaino Z6 sometimes on a towel and that also works good at removing any light residue.

Thanks for the comments on my guitar! It is one sweet guitar to play and of course looks bad@ss too. The KH series is really cool as well, especially the KH3 in LP style with spiders. Anyhow, sounds like your ESP custom rocks! I wouldn't mind owning another custom in the KH2 style. Those EMG 81s rock for metal. Got any pics of your guitar(s)? I'd love to see em!

The Stoners glass cleaner I get from KevinSS is safe for tinted windows I believe. He can confirm this.

Invisible Glass is supposed to be safe for tint, and I also use Z-6 on my tint, makes the window slick and it goes up and down easier.
