Removing tint off the dot matrix
Im in the process of stripping off the previous owner's tint job. I got the side windows and 90% of the back window but whoever did the tint previously used that adhesive bonder on the dot matrix and NOTHING is getting it off.
Ammonia and a razor blade do diddly squat, it'll strip off maybe 2" of area before dulling the blade, neither does the trash bag trick and the heat gun doesn't do ****. Im on the verge of just sanding it off. Is there anything that will dissolve the glue and the lower layer of tint without harming the glass?

Well I got it all off. I went to harbor freight and bought a 100 pack of single edge razors and had to use a brand new razor for each stroke i gave it with the scraper. I used probably like 35 razors and half an ammonia for the dot matrix area alone but got it off
