i was thinking about removing the tint from my front two windows, and the local tint shop will remove it for $40. has anyone removed tint before, i heard it is pretty tedious with the amonia, and could take up to 3 hours. the tint sjop said it would take them 20 minutes, what do you guys think?

 

Peel the tint off. Just rip it off. Well try to keep it as whole as possible, but going slow/fast will make no difference so just yank it off. Spray some No-drip windex all over and let it sit for a few minutes. Then spray again and scrape with a razor blade. have 2 towels handy. One for wiping the goo off the razor blade and one to catch the run-off.

I have an inspection scraper ($8 at auto store) Makes life really easy here.
Don't heat the tint up or anything like that. I know there are products like Slingshot that is a commercial grade aerosol windex or you could use sticker remover. Windex works just as good IMO, just let is soak in for a few minutes before scraping the goo off.

 

thanks for the advice, so after i spray it the second time, should i wipe it, or keep it wet when i scrape it

 

+1 for dog's comment, i would wipe the windex the second time.

 

do you have any suggestions where to start peeling? is it easier to start in the middle or corners, or somewhere else?

 

corner, take a box cutter or something similar to get under the tint and pull away

 

ok thanks for the help

 

are you throwing a lighter % on there or just getting rid of the tint on the front windows completely?

 

How long has it been on there? I removed some tint that was peeling from my old Integra when I bought it, had been on there 5 or so years. For the nightmare I went through to get that stuff off $40 is a bargain.

 

You might have to use a knife scrapper if the tint is been there for to long
