Many car enthusiasts love to tint their car. Therefore, very often, when buying a car from hands, it is already tinted. Of course, if this does not bother you, then the car can be left like that. But there are situations when the tinting is pretty worn out and peeled off, or the owner simply does not need tinted glass. In this case, the tint must be removed without damaging the car.
Necessary
- - soft cloth;
- - a sharp knife;
- - blade;
- - special solvent for glass;
- - detergent for glass
Instructions
Step 1
Warm up the tinting surface. By warming up, you soften the glue, which will allow you to peel off the film without any problems. It is best to use a regular hair dryer for this. Try not to bring the hair dryer close to the glass, otherwise it could overheat. Do not let the plastic trim parts get hot.
Step 2
Using a sharp knife, gently pry off the tint film. Then you can remove it in two ways: first - grab the film from above with both hands, and then with a sharp movement, pulling it down strongly, pull it down. With the other hand, slowly pull the film towards you with one hand, and use the other hand to separate the adhesive surface from the glass with a small knife
Step 3
Dissolve dish detergent in warm water. Moisten the glass with this solution and wipe with a soft cloth. In the event that there is a lot of glue residues, use a special solvent that cleans the glass after tinting. You can buy it at any car store. You can replace the solvent with regular, undiluted medical alcohol.
Step 4
In addition, glue residues can be removed with a regular blade. To do this: spray a little glass cleaner on the glass and wait about two minutes. Then, gently using a sharp blade, begin to scrape off the remaining glue from the glass surface. Rinse clean glass and wipe dry with a soft cloth.
Step 5
Do not use a blade to remove the adhesive from the rear window, as you could inadvertently damage the heating strips. Wipe down the rear window with detergent. Try not to use thinner, as you can accidentally burn it through the back shelf.
