Tint removal
Im peeling the tint off my car tomorow hopefully. what did all use to take the tint off? did it scratch the glass at all? was it far more dificult than u thought? and once off was there a sticky residue left on the glass? if yes ( which i would imagine there would be) what did u use to take it off? thanks in advance
At Walmart there is some stuff they sell to take tint off with never used it but heard it works pretty good another thing you could try is rubbing alcohol and a razer blade wont scratch anything if you keep the blade flat.
I just used the Windex and razor blade option on mine. It worked alright. Not the best. If you're gonna go this route, just make sure you have new, sharp blades. Dull blades REALLY make the job not fun.
But it sound like the blowdryer thing probably would work better.

I've had a lot of experience with tinting windows (learned by trial and error, lots of money down the tube), and here's my method...quite easy, kinda messy.
1) Get a spray bottle...preferably a big one, but any will do. Make sure you clean it out thoroughly if it had anything in it before.
2) Fill the bottle with a water/soap mix. I used Joy dishsoap, worked fine, but Johnsons Baby Shampoo is recommended. Use enough so when you spray the solution onto the window, it's soapy and drips down slowly, not all watery or all soapy so it doesnt drip at all.
3) Now for the tint removal... use a flat razorblade (one of the replacement blades, can get em at a local hardware store), cut a at the corner of the tint, and peel the tint right off. Should come off in an entire piece, but if it doesnt, just get as much off as you can by just peeling, not scraping it off with the razor blade.
4) After all the tint is off, you'll notice that there is that goo all over the window, which is the adhesive for the tint. Now spray down the entire window with the soap solution you made, and scrap off the goo with the razor blade. I like to start in the middle and go top to bottom, and work my way to the sides
5) Think you're done? Nope...inevitably you'll miss some of the good even if it looks like you got it all. Spray the window down again, and scrap again with the razor blade. I usually do it 2 or 3 times to ensure it's all off, since it'll catch the little black fibers of the rubber piece on your door.
If you need any more tips, just email me or send me an IM...hope this helps.
