bad tint removal?

[93sidelsolvtec]

I have read a few ways to do it but since it is snowing I cant do them. They requir plastic bags and the SUN. That is something I dont have at the moment.



I am thinking of GOOF OFF or GOO GONE to remove the glue but how to get the rest off? The previous owner used a razor on 1/2 and messed all the defroster bars up.... This wont work on the skinny part. I cant reach. Any helpfull hints?

Hair dryer to heat it helps.

i work at a tint shop and we use a steam machine.....if that dont work we put a black hefty trash bag on it and let it sun in the sun for a while

Id love to try the sun/bag method but.......... the sun is on vacation at the moment. I guess I can wait.

Good box of razor blades and goo gone worked for me but very tiresome.... I did it in winter too so the sun wasn't a good option, isn't there something your suppose to soak it with while under the hefty bag? Oh and Razors on backwinsheild NOT Recommended!

ya Im pretty sure that 60% of the back defroster bars are toast. Only the bottom 3 work. I read that you use water to hold the bag on the outside of the car while you put another bag on the inside of the glass and use no scented ammonia.

[cannedcb7]

actually ammonia helps ALOT with the hefty bag method but its toxic to breath so jus be careful if ur gonna use ammonia but that should take it right off...... if u can use a steam machine that would also work great.
but yeah ur defroster is NOT gonna work anymore since u scraped it with a blade

I used a window scraper on my CB to remove the old tint.

then I used some gas on a rag to remove the glue.

brake fluid takes the glue off very easily but dont get it on anything but the window cause this shit can eat through anything...

Ya I know. I had some ass hole decided to "TAG UP' my hood with gang signs on my teg around 3 days before I was selling it. I decided to flat black the hood.

Well it turns out that somehow I accidently spilled some brake fluid on his car with a spray bottle.

Ate the shit out of his paint. He knows I did it. Its all fair though in my book.



Thanks for all the info guys. Im going to get after it tomm. after work.

Will tint places remove bad tint also?


How do you remove a rear window without 1st smashing it? I replaced one on my teg but that was after someone threw a rock through it.

take a razor blade to it! you can ask an emo for one...if you dare

[N9netwoAccord]

razor blade, hair dryer, a spray bottle and warm soapy water
