99RegalGS Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 I'm trying to take off 2 layers of old faded tint in the back window of the cutlass and I'm using a flat razor blade and some windex. It's taking forever and it's a PITA. I'm wondering if there is an easier way to do it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

99RegalGS Posted July 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Never thought of that. I'll try it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bake82 Posted July 11, 2004 Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Does Windex have Ammonia in it? If not go grab a cleaner that does have Ammonia. It should make it easier. I used "Bon Ami" on my trucks rear window w/ razor blade. IT came off easily and the ship who re-did the tint never said anything about old tint being there. Try something with ammonia in it!

99RegalGS Posted July 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 Alright, couldn't find a long enough extention cord that wasn't being used. So I can't use the hairdryer. The windex I was using had vingear in it and that's all that we have. I could buy something with ammonia later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99RegalGS Posted July 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2004 There was a post on this a month or 2 ago.......not bashing ya for asking but there was about 2-3 pages on good methods to remove the tint.... Search Away....... Really, lol. I searched a little and came up with nothing, but I'll try some more. EDIT: found it, thanks for pointing it out Davis.

supreme_style21 Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 I've actually burnt out several hairdryers while putting on tint. Had to invest in a nice heat gun. Removing tint is a PITA. I just use some kind of cleaner that eats your skin if you're not carefull. Saves on the elbow grease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
