how to remove window tint - easy DIY

[@lilysegura4232]

I used my blow dryer and removed the tint on 2 very larger windows in about 5 minutes!! Thank you!!

Got the heat gun...didn't get it off in one piece but you saved me hours of work...thanks

Thanks Bill. Just successfully removed some tint after watching your video. Happened to have a heat gun out in the garage so that was handy! I had 4 pieces to remove. 2 were ultra cheap stuff from eBay that I bought just to experiment with how dark I wanted it. The other 2 were the better quality darker one that I ended up using on my front windows. What a difference! The better quality film easily came off in one piece just like yours. The really cheap stuff was a nightmare and kept breaking, so in the end I had to warm a bit then scrape the film off with the razor. Warm, scrape, warm, scrape. Ugh. Got it done in the end though 😊

Possibly a more difficult technique than some to get right, but once you get it right, it's very very productive and very very fast. I've got all the tools required for exactly this technique, my only concern is that the tint is about 45 years old and may not have the same enthusiasm for detaching from the glass, ? very best wishes John, Perth Western Australia

Thanks for this. We made a mess of our window using a cheap steamer.

Was just about to change over the tinting on a afternoon sun drenched window, good timing! In the next vid, can you maybe suggest some good/strong tint brands?

You’re very welcome 👍

[@astonfletcher1961]

Well done 👍

[@edover50]

Really informative thanks Bill! Looking forward to the next video as I just don’t apply it as clean as I’d like. Can you share what you would charge to remove and apply new film?

[@porshahernandez2055]

Just get some nail polish remover from dollar tree and try it! It helped me!

[@TLove-zc3dm]

Thanks for the tip

Great job!

[@vickimills7268]

What temperature setting did you use on the heat gun? Thanks, Vicki

[@bjcastle1176]

Thanks! Can you use a hair dryer?

[@TLove-zc3dm]

I asked the same question! Lol 😂

[@melissakiss]

Thank you, for your video.

I watched this after watching the tinting video. now, I'm on the the other side of the world of you mate. ( its normally allot colder here than at your place) so, removing tints is not that easy.. tip 1. get a scraper, (new knife) with a long handle and apply elbow greeze. srrry, all that glue will stick to the window..... 2. have another scraper that is wide and use (water and dish soap solution) .. same as when applying a new film.... (1 teaspoon vs 1 liter of water .. aprox) apply this on the window and scrape of the glue. easy.. but it's work.. . 3. third step is that you have a clean window, and either you apply a new set of film or don't ;) ps. having allot of paper towels will help.

+ floor steamer will do - Karcher SC3 + plastic razor blade > start with a corner edge > two layers of film, if you can just remove the tinting later, much easier and just glides off. This will leave the base/security layer which is see through. From my experience about 80% of the time you get lucky and just the outer layer comes off only with no further steaming necessary. If both layers come away then keep steaming and pull the sheet once you have enough to have a good hold of the film

[@TriHardVII]

are you recommending to de lamb the film and just leave a layer on there on every video? are you serious?

[@keeloraz9452]

top job.

[@nerveaudio]

Thank you

[@Danger_Mouse3619]

1st it will make life easier to start peeling off the tint from the top and pull down. 2nd the abrasive/glue becomes softened when heat is applied. This is why it becomes easy to gradually peel off. Tip when applying tint or decals etc is use a few drop of detergent mixed in a spay bottle full of water. Spray the surface with a slightly soapy mist and then when you apply to tint, decals etc you can position it correctly as it will slide due to soapy water. Let it be after 48 hours for it to settle and squeegee any bubbles out to the edge.

[@TLove-zc3dm]

Can you use a hairdryer if you don’t have a heat gun? I see that someone else asked the same thing 8 months ago, but no response, so I will try it out and come back with the results. I’m sure it will help someone else.

[@beachlife4704]

He literally says in the video that you can use a hair dryer, it will just take longer.

[@vanessacarter6342]

Where were you 2 years ago!

Have 30+ year old mirror tint on house windows using heatgun but coming off in strips leaving glue

[@RameshPatel-ph3ie]

If you have toughened glasses do not heat glass in severe cold weather

[@samuelkatherinediozarago7692]

Ozito :D

[@billshowto]

Best $30 spent 👍

[@samuelkatherinediozarago7692]

@@billshowto Love the Ozito toolz. Affordable and does the job.. Nice trick by the way. Do you reckon these can be used as safety films? I am after some safety films, are they worth bucks?Keep it up bro.

[@ruciokas]

Well , I think, you are risking to brake a window with such a high temperature...

You talk to much & repeat yourself too much. Just tell us once & get on with it.
