New tint installation care

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I did a search and didn't find my exact questions answered.

I've never had a car tinted before, but had my windows done last Friday (FormulaOne Pinnacle 35). Looks good.

I do notice a few pinhead size holes in the back, but can give it a few more days to fully cure and see if they are still there or not.

I also see (just in specific angles with specific lighting) some smudging. I'm not really sure whether or not these are between the film and the window, or on the outside of the film (hopefully). I did wash my car this weekend, and cleaned the outside of the windows with glass cleaner, and the smudges are not on the outside. But I am hesitant to even wipe the inside yet.

So, should I go ahead and wipe and see if the smudges come off, or should I wait a few more days before touching the film at all? The installer hadn't told me how long to wait, but told me to use anything that doesn't contain ammonia. Any recommendations on a cleaning fluid? Is Invisible Glass okay? A microfiber cloth okay, I assume?

Thanks,
