HOW TO REMOVE CAR TINT FILM EASILY? [TUTO]
Step 1: Start by grabbing an angle and pulling on it
If the film isn't dry, the glue will come off with it. On the other hand, if the auto-tinting film is dry (i.e. has been on for some time), you have a 1-in-2 chance of the glue remaining on the glass.
Put the defroster on for a few minutes before removing your tinted film, so that the glue softens and is easier to remove.
You can also heat the film slightly with a heat gun.
Step 2: Clean your windows with a removal solution
Spray the deposit solution onto the glass and leave for 1 to 2 minutes.
Avoid abrasive solutions such as acetone to avoid damaging the trim, and avoid smearing the glue!
Step 3: Remove glue and film residues
- Using a glass scraper, you can remove all types of impurities from your windows after the application of auto-tinted film,
- Or the copper sponge for finer cleaning without scratching your windows. The ideal tool for treating the rear window without damaging de-icing lines or antenna wires.
Step 4: Clean your windows with soapy water
Use the sponge to remove the adhesive solution and make sure there are no glue residues left on the glazing.
Use a soap solution with a neutral pH
