Default Went to Daily driver

Had to go to daily driver and I had to remove the 5% window tint. How do you remove the window tint glue.

Thanks man but I was looking for anything around the house that would do the trick. I just did the driver side with a razor and fingernail polish remover and I was out there for 45 min. Was hoping there was a faster way but I guess not.

if you are working on a glass that doesnt have defroster lines then get a hand-held scraper that uses a reg razor blade and mix some dishwashing liquid and some water in a sprayer and soak it then scrape it. for back glass its tricky bc you have to dissolve the glue off without scraping. i believe the guys i know use some kind of ammonia cleaner soak it then brillo pad it off. its awful to do a back glass.

+1 for razor blade and nail polish, pretty easy once you get the hang of it, just use both your hands, cuz you need to put alot of pressure on the blade, i broke a few razors, and had no scratches at all
