Removing A Car Window Tint Yourself

Considering  the fact that some will not like the tint on their car window, i will show you how to remove the tinting should for any reason you want them off, as stated in my previous Post about Tinting Your Car Windows, It is not an easy task removing Tint also. but here are some few easy step to achieve your goal.
        If you want to remove window tint first consider the fact that most window tinting is made of two layers of tinted polyester. Sometimes when you try to pull it off the top layer comes off easily, but the second layer can be tough to get off when you want to completely remove window tint.

Step 1 – Gather the Tools
You will probably need a large plastic bag (it is best to use a large garbage bag), ammonia or all-purpose cleaner, glass cleaner, paper towels or a squeegee, steel wool and some razor blades.



Step 2 – Cleaning and Treating
Clean the window thoroughly and clear away any obstacles to remove window tint. Lay a large plastic bag over the window and then spray ammonia on the inside. This will make it easier to remove window tint. The bag is used to cover the ammonia so it won’t evaporate. Leave it on for a while, maybe even in the sun so it will be easier to peel away. But keep the plastic on the ammonia so it will not dry.

Step 3 – Peeling To Remove Window Tint
Starting at a corner, use a razor blade to peel the film away. If it is done slowly enough you should be able to peel the film off in one piece. If you cannot remove window tint in one piece, spray the window with soapy water and use a new blade to remove any leftover adhesive.

Step 4 – Cleaning any excess material
When the film is completely off, scrub the window to remove the adhesive off with ammonia and steel wool pads. Clean up the window using window cleaner and paper towels. If there is any excess flue, spray some WD-40 and use a steel wool pad and paper towel to wipe it off. This should remove the window tint completely.

Some people like me still argue that it is much easier to let a professional remove window tint. For example, using ammonia on the inside of a car can make it hard to breath. Professionals also know how to remove window tint without destroying defroster or radio lines.
