I just use Stoners glass cleaner, my windshield is also tinted and never had an issue

I use Rainex on the outside and it definitely helps.  I am thinking about having the inside tinted to help keep the sun off the dash. @McGarnicle How dark is your tint?

@davidbrooks careful with window tint. Some types of tint can mess with GPS signal, bluetooth, etc.

Does the vinegar remove the hard water stains?

Yes, white vinegar

One of the kickers for me is to do this first thing in the am or evening.  Trying to clean glass or get the water spots off on a warm sunny day is tough.   Has to be cool and cloudy.

I rinse the glass and canvas windows and then wash with boat wash and wax soap, let sit for a couple of minutes, rinse off and dry with micro fiber cloths. I'm in a covered slip so can do it anytime otherwise I would do it early morning or evening. Be careful with glass cleaners running down on the deck, they can remove the wax.
