you will need acetone, razor blade, good window cleaner and a strong stomach





using a rag or brush put the acetone on the tint and using the razor blade gently scrape the tint off





you will need more acetone on the glass to remove the residue from the tint glue and then you will need the window cleaner to clean the glass





you will need plenty of time and a strong stomach as the smell of the window tint glue is pretty strong and not a very good smell





the other way around it is to get someone else to do it at around $100/window
use white spirit and a cloth
Hi, Hope this helps





Use white spirit first, then washing up liquid and warm eater to remove the white spirit.
try white vinegar
lighter fluid, nail polish remover, or varsol
Neat petrol,just dont be having a smoke wile you are doing it.
get some standard thinners and rub over the residual glue and it will either scrape or wipe off the thinners will break up the glue and should leave your window clean probly need to clean after with some decent window cleaner
Windex, razor blade and a barf bag...it stinks...
Goo Gone
Mix water and rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle(more rubbing alcohol than water). It works really well on dried glue stick, so I would think it would work well on adhesive on a window. Use a blade scraper first to get rid of most of the sticky stuff and then spray this on the window and wipe. Good luck! :)





PS: If you have rear window defrost, watch out that you dont scrape it off.
white board cleaner, works a treat!
There are different adhesive removers out there or you can use baby oil. Spread it evenly on the window and let it soak in for an hour then use a scrubby sponge to remove. Wash with soap and water.
Rubbing alcohol and a wide razor blade. There realy is no easy way about it. Good luck.
peanut butter works, just don't use crunchy
i just used goo gone on mine worked great!!!!!!!!!!apply, wait , scrape!!!1easyyyyyyyyy
goo gone,and a razor or alcohol and a razor.
i find that if you put a small amount of vinegar onto a cloth and rub it onto the stain it removes the sticky residue,then just clean up with glass cleaner
