Removing window tints

[mercutio]

use an old school razor blade thats what vehicle signwriters use to remove it from the outside

Paint thinners brings it off without any effort at all.

I've used ferrosol on sticky adhesive and it removed it ok. Tint adhesive might be different though...

Sorry nitin yes I was going to send you some autosmart Tardis but completely forgot you can also buy plastic razor blades that will make it much easier. I use them for removing sign writing from paintwork

Been here, done this. Thinners wouldn't touch whatever they'd used, but what did was WD40 ... That, plus an old hand towel and some elbow grease cleaned the adhesive from the glass nicely. Then you get to clean the WD40 off

Trust me, thinners works best, I've done this on at least 10 cars...........

I thought you might suggest just taking a hammer to it tbh.

Wonder if there are different glues used or something? Or maybe the thinners I tried were just rubbish

Just to throw in something maybe helpful...

When I used to work with glass we made a lot of things using UV activated adhesive (used to stick those glass bevels on windows, normally what you'd see in a fancy front door). The cleaner we used contained isopropanol. It was the only thing that would remove the excess so I can well believe thinners would work. In fact if there was something we couldn't clean off the glass it was the go-to thing and if that didn't work you'd spray more on and fetch a blade. If that still didn't work you'd just get a new bit of glass.

Hydrocarbons (especially alicyclic ones like wots in thinners) are generally quite corrosive when it comes to plastics. You probably had jobby thinners, lemon
