Quick Way To Remove Tints?

[Bazza-NZ]

Hey

Needing to remove some tints that had been on the car for a while now... just asking before i get into it, what would the quickest and easiest way to remove them... i don't want to remove the rear window on the boot and the 2 side ones, the door ones I'm more than happy to remove (easy as)

Cheers for any help

gear a razor blade (wof sticker removal tool) and just get stuck into it, if you can get big bits off at once it means less scrubbing later on, then get some cleaner/alcohol and rub out the gluey marks

Bugger, so its going to take a while then...

id say 10 mins to peel all 4 windows and another 20 mins to wipe the gluey crap off.

Thats the best way .... use and hair dryer once you have a good size of it removed you can normally pull it all off in one piece.

Yeah try a hair dryer or paint stripper, I know some pro tinters ill ask them tomorrow.

I used and will use always is ammonia best ever.

left in the sun for however long cant member, covered with new world plastic bags at the time at a m8’s tinting shop well he worked there, can’t let it evaporate, pealed both layers GOTA GET both layers at once and yea some steel wool (fine as you can get) to get the adhesive off wile spraying more ammonia was mint

have some paper towels handy to wipe up the window, did not really explain myself as its late and want to go bed so maybe tomorrow I will fill you in

I found nail polish remover worked a treat for removing the glue residue

[Dirka]

Nail polish remover is acetone (mostly) if you can find stuff nowadays that isnt acetone free

Do Not get this on plastics!!

i suffered and did it the long and hard, but sure way,...

Borrowed a glass scrapper and just went at it, probably took about 30 per window in the boot (x3) and the door ones just ripped off in one piece so wasn't too bad

I used degrease on a rag and wiped the windows down, that removed all the stuff on it.

Dont listen to these fools! Take out all your windows and mission it to pickapart for some new ones 8)

[Guest keltik]

Hammer. Smash em all out then off to smith 'n smiths.

Cant believe how nice it is having a new windscreen, its SO CLEAN!!!! It felt good to screw $500 out of state insurance too

we do have insurance just in case of and incident like this, its slipped right you rolling your guards and it slipped onto the window ;D

Im not endorsing insurance fraud in any way, my windscreen genuinely had a big ol' stonechup that developed into a crack. All im suggesting is following some logging trucks down an unsealed road with various degrees of slide on.
