Window Tint Removal

Just putting some notes her for people wanting to do this themselves.

My honest advice is pay the $50 for someone else to do it, its a bitch of a job.

I used a pocket knife (razor blade can be subbed here) and lifted the edges and peeled the majority of the window section away in one bit. This left slight edges which needed to be taken off with the knife.

I intially started glue removal with straight metho. Lots of elbow grease and it works but I started to get a headache from the amount of metho on the windows. Sik Mick suggested Turps first as it seems to loosen the glue up a bit. Didnt seem to have much effect for me.

I found a website which suggested ammonia. Use really fine (0000) steel wool and a bit of ammonia and it comes off relatively easy and doesnt mark the glass if your very light on the wool. Make sure you wipe up the excess ammonia with a paper towel.

Clean both sides with window cleaner for a nice finish.
