[HyperTek]

fawk fawk fawk

couple weeks ago i removed the tint *it was really shitty, probably 10 years baked on* with a heat gun and a razor..

cant get this glue shit off, any advice?
*please dont respond with "you should of got it removed professionally"*

tried amonia/diluted water, paint remover etc..

[grudge]

i used adhesive remover, razor blade, and some elbow grease

[Slammed Assassin]

i used some simple green, worked good for me.

[jesse the e-thug]

windex and a blade should work

[onefst240]

Goo gone and a razor bluade works wonders.

[HyperTek]

hmm wonder if i should go buy some goo gone.. was thinking all the shit i tried should be alot stronger then that stuff lol

[all show no go]

WD4D works too, & brand new razor blades, thats what I used. Paper towels to clean up too.

[HyperTek]

yeah i cant really use razor blades on the rear defrosters =(

[JVD]

Goof off.

Shit works.

Listen dude buy air craft remover spray it in a cup and paint it on with a brush, let it sit and use a steel wool pad you will save your lines and will look perfect trust me.

thanks, was thinking about that too

[wow-thats-a-cool-car]

buy this stuff at pepboys called tint off! I bought it let it sit on and then wipe it off

[importdude]

make sure you use extra extra fine 0000

Put IPA on it let it soak for a little bit. Then just take a razor blade to it going in between the defroster lines. It is what I used on my whole car and worked perfectly.

yep that's a pain in the ass. takes time but you'll get it. i got a kit from autozone for like $7

The same messy residue is on my friend's Z32 hatch it looks horrible.
It really is nuisance to remove. The aircraft remover sounds promising though.

My dad does professional tint, get some rubbing alcohol and steel wool, works great and wont scratch your window.

I used Windex w/amonia. A black garbage bag. Soaked the tint in the windex. PLaced the black bag onto it. Put it in the sun for and hour or so... Shit peels right off. Try it.

you would probly spend more money on goo gone..i just used windex and razors it came off! just did mine on friday!..lol

[illvialuver]

took mine to best tint.
But by watching it looked like steam helps alot and putting the water on that, spraying that on then putting plastic bag on it and letting it sit in the sunlight and letting it get hot so that way the steams off. hope it helps.

bad picture. cant tell if its a layer of tint or just the glue. if it's just glue, then use windex, spray (alot) and let soak about 2 minutes. then use 0000 steel wool (home depot) and use that elbow grease. helps to have a small squeegee which helps the process. if not, you can use alot of towels.

it's gonna get messy and sticky. you can be an idiot like some on here and use razor blades but as you already know, you'll lose your defroster lines.

i've already seen a good thread on here a while back on how to remove tint properly using a garbage bag and some heat from the sun so for the future, you guys should look that up.

my shop charges anywhere from $40-60 to remove the tint off the rear window. depends on its condition. we can usually tell how its gonna come off by looking at it.

have fun

go to walmart
buy a hand steamer
steam the shit out of the window an use a razor blade be careful not to hit the heat lines
return steamer to walmart

works everytime an no chemicals to deal with

[illvialuver]

I would save the time and go to best tint, I mean its only 40 dollars and your defroster will have a much better chance of working. And its must faster and cleaner.

[nismoracingsx]

steamer works good on glue. me and the wife detinted two nissans right before I deployed...just wiped off the hot glue with a towel..

[97nismo]

Listen to me air craft remover and steel wool, i ised a steamer but if its hot ouside you will get the same results. Do not waste your time use a respirator and use what i told you NOTHING that says window tint remover works and you will lose your lines unless you use the aircraft remover.

If it was once sticky it will get it off. I use this at work all the time to scrape of permits that have been stuck on cars for years.

[infam0us21]

I used goof off, it took some time but it got the job done.
