removing old tint

[nitrousoxide10]

i am in the process of taking tint off my car. i got it all off except for the rear window. the tint is old, bubbled and brittle. it comes off in pieces the size of a dead frogs toenail. its making me really mad! you guys have any ideas for me?

use a steamer to loosen it up and carefully peel back

there is also a spray that is found where you buy tint that helps remove the old tint, i dont know if it works well cuz i never used it but i have seen it and its only like $5 so maybe worth a try.

i'll try anything that might work. the tint shop in my home town wants over $300 to take the tint off the back window and retint the whole car.

rubbing alcohol will take the old glue off after you have peeled tint film off.

Im a windex man. Helps break down the adhesive. Once the tint itself it off, it will be alot easier to finish it all up.

the tint shop will use a steamer to take off your tint.

you mean spray windex on the tint to get the tint off? the glue is no problem. i use shampoo/steel wool for that. works great.

i wouldnt use any sort of metal on the rear window... well if you live anywhere you get frost anyways

Well, that and a good crisp razor. If done correctly, you wont leave and scratches or anything. Just be patient and take your time.
