TRYNKEEPUP 0 Posted May 22, 2009 Just purchased a daily runner 1.6 gti so i keep 1.9 in garage, trouble is new car has blacked out windows, thought it would be a ten min job removing it, just picked edges of tint and it ripped of in sheets! lovley i thought, but there is now all the old adhesive all over windows, have i got to rub like hell with paint thinners or petrol or is there an easier way !

ALEX 98 1 Cars Posted May 28, 2009 (edited) I used the kettle to remove the film and then turps on the glass to remove the sticky gunk using the rough side of a sponge. Edited May 28, 2009 by ALEX Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie 32 Posted May 29, 2009 White spirits, or a use a sharp T blade+warm water with plenty of elbow grease. There are adhesive removers on the market, but from experience they are a bit useless. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pug_ham 240 3 Cars Posted May 29, 2009 Park your car in the sun fior a few hours. The tints came off my 306 just by lifting the corner & pulling, I didn't need any heat to get it all off. Graham. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good idea graham, ive done alot of car valeting and had this before. I used autosmarts preptone and it came away easy, you can also use any based solvent ie panel wipe or thinners.
