How do i remove window tint off a car window fellas? has anyone done it before? i'm thinking razor blade and soap.. but i hear its a c*** of a job to do.

its a big ol' whore of a job depending how badly damaged it is

if you get lucky you should be able to peel it off in big sections

otherwise you can steam it off, basically wet the inside of the rear window, sticky tape a big black garbage bag to the inside and leave it in the sun for a few hours
it will deteriorate rapidly and should make getting it off less painful

and unfortunately, you run the risk of ruining the rear demister (dont use a razor anywhere near the demister lines)


also you can use diluted metho on a rag to wipe the window/glue off once the tint is off
if the first method doesn't work, a heat gun will

ok that could work.. its just really bubblely as it is.. it shouldn't be that hard!

bugger of a job.. I don't envy you mate.


I'd give the hairdryer a good bash eh

If you've got a handheld steam cleaner, use that instead of the garbage bag method. If you're lucky you should be able to get it to start to peel and you won't need to use a razor blade at all. Just peel it off and use a rag and some turps to clean all the adhesive off.

+1 for heat gun

also, wax n grease remover and/or thinners will help with the glue. just be careful of heatgun and thinners, or kaboom

Soapy water and scraper is best. It ain't hard

buy a new window

FIREWORX
