rubbing alchohol, scotch brite pad, and lots of time scrubbing.

i've heard if you put on the alchohol first and put a plastic bag over it and let it sit, the tint will remove better. but i didn't do that.

if you search, you'll find better/more info. i did.

Will a blow dryer work?? (Obviously takes longer.) If I'm going to spend the $ on a heat gun, I may is well have someone professionally take it off.

Are you referring to the trash bag method mentioned in EDwEFprts' quote above?

Take it to a professional tinting shop to have it done right once you razor blade and cut one of the thin defroster lines you will need to replace your whole rear windshield
