Default Tinted window cleaner

Just had my windows tinted and apparently you cannot use ammonia based products ie Windex to clean em as it breaks down the hardness of the film.
What do you use to clean em?

Try - warm water and a drop or two of good quality dishwashing liquid.
This was recommended to me by window tinters as it doesnt streak and completely safe as it wont make your window tint bubble. (never use amonia based cleaners or windex ) Also use lint free cloths.

on that note - what's a good, truely lint-free cloth?
my meguiars chamois is good but not great when it comes to perfect windows...
