Trying to Remove Tint
Does anybody know what the easiest way to remove old tint is? My stealth has some 12 year old on it that is completely shot all around the car. I want to be safe and not scratch the glass, but it looks really tough to remove!
A razor scraper would work fine on the side windows, you know, like the ones used to scrape paint from windows in houses. If the back window has a defroster, I don't know what to use since the scraper would like break the defroster.
I actually did this a couple weeks ago with mine. I used "Tint-Off" from Wal-Mart along with a couple of straight blade razors. Just get a good, straight edge of the tint lifted, give a couple squirts of the Tint-Off between the tint and glass, let it soak in some, then it should just start rolling off. (applying more Tint-Off as each new section is available.) As for the rear window, I have about 1/4 of it left to scrape, but ran out of ideas on the best way to approach the top section without damaging the defroster coils. I got the rest of the rear hatch window done by holding the blade at extreme angles (one swipe both ways per section) and then a couple good sprays of Tint-Off and a non-lint rag got rid of any remaining residue.
