DIY: How to remove window tint

Little explanation of how to remove window tint. This is for those of you who would rather do it yourself than pay a shop to do something so simple. All you need is a hand held steam cleaner, goof off, and a razor. Remember to go slow! It's faster to go slow when removing the film, than just ripping the film off and having to get all the glue residue off. Good luck, and hope this helps.

thanks forthe xylol tip, great

[badfishOZ]

@gst69man No problem. The prices aren't exactly right though. The gallon of Xylol is about $15, and a thing of goof-off/goo-gone is around $10. I have used this stuff quite a bit after buying it and still have a lot left, definitely a great investment if you plan on removing ALL your tint.

just gonna throw this out there but a product called Go-Gone takes this glue residue off like melting butter off a knife with a blowtorch...

@DaBluedude100

The chemical I show is the exact same thing, its just sold in bulk and with no brand name.

use brake parts cleaner to get the sticky stuff off



[badfishOZ]

@billyn150 Bad idea, it may remove the residue, but getting brake or carb cleaner on interior trim pieces and fabric can and will damage those pieces! It's best to use ammonia or the chemical I show in the video.

Vinegar gets rid of glue gook. At least it does for price sticker glue.

it seems like yanks get all there stuff from wallmart, wallmark, however you spell it

[jruiz0305]

using a HAIR BLOW DRYER will do the same, you don't need the steam, it's the heat that melts the glue that is necessary

@jameson63926 I just did this two weeks ago in ~90 degree weather. You have to make sure your car is sitting directly in the sun and for at least an hour. Mine just peeled right off. Windex took care of the residue.

@cackalakcougar No, this doesn't work bud. I live in south Texas, we get into to low 100's here on a daily basis, and your way does not do it.
