Tint Removal

[kireisceli]

Ok, so got a fix it for my tint...is it possible to get all the crap from the tinting off my windows...all my friends cars that had to scrape the tint have crap all over the windows now...any help would be much appreciated...thanks

I believe just the front two windows are illegal so all you gotta remove is those two. What you should do is at the very outer edge use a stainless steel razorblade to try and pick up the edge of the film, then in 1 smooth motion remove the film. When you do this it is better if you let your car sit out in the sun for a couple of hours, this way the glue gets soft when it is baked in the sun. Later use Ammonia products or Alcohol to remove these glue. Do not use anything to scrape the glue off, just use those solvants.

Thank you SO much!! I am going to try before I get a suspended license...ugh

Use a hairdryer and warm up the tint before removal. Then, pick the edge up with a razor blade, and pull it off a little at the time. Helps to have two ppl. If you do it right, shouldn't be any glue on the window..

If you do, use goof-off.

Again, thank you for the advice..I will try that...I need to get a long extension cord for the hair dryer though..hehe

i pretty good with tinitng film becuase i've made a couple..... it's easy to remove... just remove the tint and after that spray glass cleaner on the glue and scrape with a razor blade the glue will came off really easily ;)
hope this helps:D

Just becareful when you use stainless steel blade to scrape the glass because you do not want to accidentally use the point edge to scrape your glass. Keep the razor at 30 degree angle run over a wet soap covered glass surface and the glue will come off.

That's why I'm not getting my front windows tinted.

yes... definately make sure your window is wet and soapy when you scrape it w/a razor.

btw... it's gonna smell funny too :P

the weird thing is, i haven't been able to figure out if it's the glue on the tint dried up, or the baby shampoo used to put the tint on with that smells...

I guess it's one of those things I'll never know

[kireisceli]

It's gonna smell?? LOL! Ewe.... Is my car going to reek or what? ahaha..I guess I'll just have to spray some of my perfume in the car or something..

The ponjabi corndog and her tint :D

Good luck getting it off. It is ghey that you have to take it off.

[cool2miketlu]

It does not have to smell, use dish washing soap just a few drops with water. As long as it will suds up alittle it is enough.
Spray it onto window with spray bottle and run stainless steel razor all over the surface and you are fine. It should not stink up your car. Do not use ammonia if you do not want to stink up.
