Heat gun and razor blades...

Re: Window Tint
I used a blow dryer, a razor to get it started, some steel wool and Meguiar's APC+ and it worked great for me.
Ammonia is supposed to do the trick as well, I believe. - but the APC+ is safe and worked well.Comment

Re: Window Tint
I've seen those plastic razor blades while cruising the Online detailing shops.
I've always assumed they were for removing gooey bumper and oil change stickers.
Teenage girls in possession of harsh solvents like hail polish remover are sounding more dangerous every day.

Re: Window Tint
Steam works wonders too and is actually one of the methods recommended by many makers of the film and the installation shops themselves. We've got a small steamer at home and it worked great when pulling the film off my wife's car.
After she got a fix it ticket for the tint.
Which I wanted on the car in the first place.
Oh well.

Re: Window Tint
My wife got a "get it fixed or else" warning. We aren't removing it. I am removing tint from a friends car however. I don't have a steamer but do have a hair dryer - so I am going with heat.Originally posted by Michael Stoops View PostSteam works wonders too and is actually one of the methods recommended by many makers of the film and the installation shops themselves.

Re: Window Tint
Get a long, skinny razor; the kind that slides out.
Use a 32 oz. spray bottle with water and about a table spoon of Johnsons baby shampoo. Soak the tint glue and lay the blade flat against the glass, shave it into a pile, wipe it off.
Change the blade frequently and use plenny of the mixture in a stream spray.
That's one way I like. I've heard the steamer werks good though.Daily - 09 Chevrolet Colorado - Techno gray metallic
