Do you guys know any good place to get my tint removed. I have to because of a stupid repair order. I have a heat gun but im kinda scared to do it myself. I just need the cheapest place to do it because once it comes off, im gonna get it redone.

Usually the tint spots who put it on charge about the same to take it off. Pays to go legal.

Express Tint in centreville, va is about $90 to remove tint.

i felt the same way as u before i tried it myself. my buddy owns a tint shop and told me how to do it. all you have to do is let ur car bake in the sun for an hour maybe 2 and just peel it off slowly from one corner to another. simple as that! i removed my front windshield tint and rear window myself using this method. before u pull it all off touch the non-tinted area. if its sticky u need to let it heat up more so the glue adheres to it as u pull, if it is smooth keep pulling it off slowly!

So would goo gone or ammonia take the sticky stuff off? Why can't you just peel it off and then use goo gone to remove the adhesive from your windows?

It's a major PITA that way.

+1 that is the hard way of doing it. and would u need a blade to scrape it off. last thing u want is ***** of glue all over let it heat up and u can simply peel it off WITH the glue adhered to the tint leaving no residue

so would a heat gun do the trick as well?

peel it off by hand and then just use some windex to remove the glue...use a Brillo pad to remove the glue from your rear window because of the defrosters.

I know a guy that may know a guy that may know a guy that may be able to take care of that for a small fee !?!?!?!?

What pro tinters do to remove tint is use a black garbage bag cut open so it lays flat.

Cut the bag so its slightly larger than the window

Spray window with a little water and a few drops of soap from a sprayer

Apply garbage bag to inside of window, soapy solution will allow it to cling to the glass

Bake in sun for 1-2 hours. After 1 hour, test a corner, if it comes off clean, not leaving glue behind, keep peeling slowly.

You should be able to peel it off in 1 piece. If it becomes hard to peel, let it bake some more in the sun.

A brillo pad on the rear window would surely mess up the deforster lines in my opinion.

Hope this helps!

Well i took a heat gun to my window, my finger nail, aned a water spray bottle that had some water and soap in it. after heating the window for about 3-4 minutes i peeled off the edge of the window and kept pulling and the tint came right off. one of the windows has some residue left over but thats because it was my first attempt and pulled too slowly. the second window, came off without a problem. saved myself $100.
