How do you remove window tint ?

[B-Man]

OK,

I want to remove the VERY VERY dark tint that came with my new import.

Is there are proper or correct way of doing this ? Or do you just rip it off ? THe last thing I want it getting into a fiddly excersise.

Thanks in advance

What about using a hair dryer on HOT to soften the film and adhesive.

Good thinking 99 !

Have you tried this before ??

That's Ms 99 to you, thanks

No, haven't done it with tint, but have done it with some competition numbers I put on the doors.

When I took the tint off my first car I got a steam machine and a nice sized blade and it worked a treat

He he - it might melt the glass, the glass might turn to carbon, then form into DIAMONDS

And then I'll be rich......

Might have to get a bigger turbo

The way I took mine off is to get:

-scraper blades.

-spray bottle with warm water and dish washing liquid mixed.

-Scrape and peel abit off then spray abit and repeat

Have fun,BTW are the demisters on the back window in the glass or on the inside?
