Remove old bubbled window tint

[@lukemoran6574]

I used Windex and trash bags for my windshield tint removal, same concept but I sprayed then waited 30min, sprayed again and waited another 30 and then peeled it. All the glue came off with the tint in one go. Shop quoted me $120, I did it myself for 1/2 bottle of windex

[@nexhoe]

shop quoted me 125 wo now im watching this vid😹

[@Dave_the_Detailer]

@@Aprildaonenonly777if it wasn’t my job I would pay the $100 that I charge. Removing tint and not damaging the defrosters is not easy.

[@summereppinett5898]

​@@Dave_the_Detailer I removed my tint today not using any spray of any kind, tint came off very easy and very very little glue on my back windshield .. removed it with Windex 😂

Bro turned into ed shereen at the end. “Wipe it awaaaay” 🎶🎵🎤

[@ianflowe6731]

On rear windshields that have those lines across it, those are heater elements that defrost the windshield. You should never wipe perpendicular against those lines. Wipe the window parallel to the direction the lines are going or else you’ll damage them.

[@humunguswarrior]

Aren't those wires embedded in the glass? It shouldn't matter if that's the case.

[@ianflowe6731]

[@gregwilson5755]

I just wanted to say thank you. You’re really easy to understand. I’m a doer so I wanted to try tinting for the first time but I’m also a planner so I feel like your videos are giving me the most important information so instead of doing it 20 times per window, I only have to do it five times per window to get better. Just wanted to say thank you. You’re a good dude Greg, Texas.

[@rellt5498]

I did this with Awesome cleaner from the dollar store, 90+ degree day and worked great. Except the soap residue etched itself into the glass in a few spots and left a faint haze that I cant seem to remove.

[@StrainingDingelberry]

Windex works pretty well doing the same thing

[@MasterBasser]

heat gun worked fabulously and only took less than 5 minutes with 0 residue.

[@ezcoreg759]

Heat gun is never fast for me nor does it take off all the glue. If I want to dedicate a whole hour to removing tint on a single window with my heat gun MAYBE I can get most of the glue off when I go to pull the old tint. Maybe my heat gun sucks, but it is extremely hot. Wish I had a steam gun instead 😢

[@CarlosPerdomo]

I tried the next gun and it left glue residue all over my windows. Now I need to get that off 😢

[@IamRussel]

Do I need to spray water before using a heat gun? Thanks

those dont usually "rip off", they come off when scraped with a razor

Thanks for all of your tips and tricks

[@tjgrafiks]

does removing the tint ruin the defrosting lines the emit heat?

[@samhobbs2746]

Is it better/ easier if the tint is on the outside or inside of the vehicle? What happens when the windshields is cracked? Is it easier to replace the window after the window is tinted? Rather than breaking glass?

Thank You So So So So Much for showing me how to remove the rear windshield old Tinted film. Our local car detail shop wants me to pay $100US labor fee just to remove the old film. At that time, my guts told me something is not right. I am glad I found you. I subscribed your channel.

You have the best videos showing how to do the art of tinting and you make it look so easy, I try 3 times and I fail on my rear window shrinking issues blame it on the Amazon tint I got, where can I order a 20’ roll of the manufacture you use ? Amed

[@sknapp19911]

I remember moving tint from my old car in winter because I got a ticket for it (prev owner had limo tint installed on front windows) - if only that chemical existed them. I think I used goo gone, tons of rags, razor blades, and a ton of elbow grease. I know it was cold - but it still looks like that stuff is things if the future

[@gwecompany2617]

What is the brand name of the epic orange solution that you use to spray on the trash bag?

[@Pmz604]

I used a dollar store citris cleaner to help remove the adhesive..best bang for the buck..minus the elbow grease needed to scrub off the adhesive of course

[@xr6lane]

I use a garment steamer myself, takes all of about 5 minutes for a rear window, 90 seconds per side window 😎

[@TonyLightTravels]

Whats your procedure specifically I need to fix my bros window tint ASAP

[@kickcommission2734]

@@TonyLightTravels Steamer works wonders. Use the steamer and heat up one of the Top corners. After a couple of seconds, check it and you should be able to peel a small portion of it. Once you're able to peel it, then take your time balancing between adding steam and peeling film. Then use the Epic Orange for residual glue and Boom you're done. Hope this helps.

[@xr6lane]

@@TonyLightTravels honestly let the steamer heat up, make sure the hose doesn’t sag or the steam won’t rise, start in one corner and let the steam do the work, the tint will sort of fold down over the hand piece and that’s ok, as the heat helps to loosen the glue underneath

WD-40 on a cloth will also remove the glue, also removes those paper stickers that rip in half leaving the glue portion.

But does it work for old like really old purple tint. The kind that is brittle even if you steam it?

[@alejandroarreola-torres5529]

Are those bubbles due to bad install/material, weather, or just age/wear?

[@Car1osGonza1ez]

I might be wrong but is it safe to scrub perpendicular to the heating element? I've always heard it could damage it and it recommended to go parallel

[@joimprove]

Can you just use plastic or does it have to be a trash bag

[@Mr_Scoobie_]

Bro turn on the rear defrosters too.

[@endwolf103]

I wouldn't recommend doing that on older cars though. Sometimes the defroster wires degrade and will short out causing a hot spot and the window to shatter

[@Mad-Man84]

What you do if it's winter time, would I be able to heat it up with a heat gun for 20 to 30 mins????

[@Trellthephotographer]

Would using the rear window defrost help warm up the window to remove the glue???

[@SKYRIDR]

All that for about 2 hours of work when Ll you had to do is use a clothing steamer with a wand and run it on the tint and peel off and no glue either.

[@Moonsauc3]

I was taught to use citrus orange spray similar to simple green using this method. Im pretty sure simple green would work too. The longer you let it sit the better it will work. And it's important to get all the glue off afterwards however a razor will damage the defrost traces in the glass. We were shown to use plastic razor blades but they'll damage it too. The white scotch Brite pads are softer then the green ones and will remove the glue with some elbow grease. Rear windows are a Pane
