Ummm I know Windex glass cleaner has ammonia in it but what substance is pure and stronger so that I can remove this ugly bubble tint !!!

Something that I can pick up at the grocery store preferrably.

Why don't you pick up some AMMONIA at the grocery store?

You won't find pure ammonia unless you seek out a chemical supplier (like for labratories, but you don't need it anyway.

Find a street cat from a local alley, make it pee in a container. Cat pee is mostly ammonia and will take off pretty much anything. Just don't get it on your skin for it will eat through it in about a min.

Use GooGone(brandname) & a razorblade.Wipe on alot & the adhesive will come off very easy with the blade.You can get GooGone at most grocery stores/HomeDepots etc.

the way i took off my tint, was I took a razor, and scraped all the tint off, (once you get the hang of it, it goes pretty quick), I took all the glue off by using a small rag, and putting rubbing alchohol on it, and just wiping off the glue, just put some pressure on it, and the glue comes right off... hope it helped...

Jeezuz... I can't believe how often the same issues appear over and over again. If you searched you'd come across a complete tutorial I typed up on this exact issue only a few months ago.

Go to the local hardware store (not Home Depot, Loews but True Value or some mom & pop place) and buy some ammonia. Also pick up some razor blades, 0000 or 000 steel wool (use on the back window), black garbage bags, rubber gloves, face mask (to prevent inhaling ammonia fumes) and some safety goggles.

Then find my post and follow the instructions: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=313871 or here https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=198449
