My rear window glass has very old, very baked on tint film on both sides, as well as lots of sticky gunk from the tint and stickers. What's the best way to clean all this off? The tint is so attached, it almost feels like part of the glass! It must have been on there for quite some time, baking in the sun over decades. I've tried peeling it but, as you can see below, some ripped off, leaving the stubborn parts behind.
Thanks, Luke. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.postimg.cc-22382-1600306843.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.postimg.cc-22382-1600306844.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.postimg.cc-22382-1600306844.3.jpg) |

I don't know how effective or practical it would be for glass off the car, but there's a "trash bag" method.
Basically, you wet the window with an ammonia/water solution, put a (pre-cut to size) piece of black trash bag on the window and smooth it so there's no wrinkles or air bubbles, let it sit in the sun for a while, and peel it off.YouTube search |
