Removing DIY window tint

LeadFarmer · Jul 7, 2010

I tinted my windows a few years ago with that tint sheeting you buy on a roll. Its now looking a bit shabby.

Is there an easy way to remove it as Id like to renew it? Do I have to scrape it off, or are there any tint removing products/techniques?

what he said. no scratches only some complaints form a wet haired missus

So all I need to do is equip the wife with a hairdryer and a stanley knife blade

Not sure if thats safe, she might scratch the paintwork

no no no you stand behind her with the knife so she does a good job. it will just peel off under the dryer no knife needed

That makes sense

I guess I'll need a chair to sit on so I can watch her, whilst occasionally pointing and saying things like "youve missed a bit..."
