Cleaning Tint with Alcohol ?

Cleaning Tint with Alcohol ?
I browsed around and only saw 1 thread with regards to interior detailing, I thought I would post this question to see what everyone thinks.
When I had my first car, a Beamer, I through some 15% on it and swore I was told to clean it with a light water/alcohol mixture, like 25% alcohol 75% water, to help remove stains and dry faster. I did it several times without a problem on that vehicle, but yesterday I was cleaning the same way on the civic, a tint Job that has been on there for a while, and I got this funky looking scum to start forming on the inside of the tint.
I went back and basicly had to polish it out with a towel, and it took forever. I didn't know if maybe the alcohol was a bad idea, or If maybe they just hadn't been cleaned in ages. I know I should buy a tint-safe cleaner, but I was making due with what I have around here.
Anyone seen that happen, or clean with alcohol ? TIA
