Can you get this stuff off once applied?

Yes...

Razor blade and meth spirits.. it's a right arse of a job though.

And be warned.. You'll be banging your head against an unopened window for
at least a fortnight after removal.

The brain takes a while to register that just because the window is now see
thro again it doesn't mean it's not there...

trust me..

It's on the tailgate of the RRC, so the problem is the rear screen element!

Why he put it on the rear screen I'll never know!

Ever tried "Citro-Clean" (.. as an example, there are probably others!) or
similar ?? It's a cleaning solvent made from citrus fruit. It dissolves
glue residues _easily_, one's that such as hydro carbon and alcohol based
solvents won't touch.

On my 'old bus', the tinting sheet ( that I'd put on ages ago.. pretty
rough!!) on the passenger side window had some tears and scratches in it
so I ripped it off. The 'baked' coating left on the window responed to
_nothing_ else ( turps, metho, 'Preen', thinners... just for starters)
.....but this citrus based 'gum, grease and glue remover' did.... And no
razor blade necessary!

Hope this info is useful.

..... frodo.

Nice one!
