It was suggested that I clean my skungy windows with a diluted solution of
this. Just some in some warm water.

Regular window cleaners are fine. Some oldfashioned solutions use
ammonia or white vinegar, if the aroma isn't bothersome.

Kerosene is not compatible with the putty that seals most windows,
I wouldn't use it under any circumstances. And your friend might be
confused, kerosene doesn't mix with water.

Years ago, a customer of mine always had the shiniest Edsel. I said it was
a lot of years ago. He washed it with water which he added a cupful of
kerosene and then used Bar soap and the liquid wash the car. I never tried
it, but he did get a mix with soap and the car was always shiny, even after
the paint had faded.
