Prepare everything you need
First of all, select the necessary tools and facilities:

- Plastic scraper: a special plastic scraper will allow you to pick up the edges of the film without scratching the glass.
- Microfiber cloth: a soft cloth is suitable for removing glue residues.
- Soap solution: warm water with a neutral shampoo is an excellent lubricant.
- Degreaser: will allow to remove glue residues after removing the film.
Heat and separate
- Protect the interior: cover the seats and plastic elements of the interior - glue can remain on the surfaces.
- Heat the film: turn on the hair dryer on medium mode and heat the film in sections of 10-15 cm. Do not overheat - the film may float.
- Pick up with a scraper: carefully pick up the edge of the softened film with a plastic scraper and gently separate it from the glass. Do not use metal tools - they scratch the glass!
- Remove gradually: warm the film in sections and remove it with smooth movements. Do not pull sharply - the film may tear.
We fight with glue residues
- Clean the glass from the glue: moisten a microfiber cloth with a warm soapy solution and clean the glass from the remaining glue.
- Degreasing is the finishing touch: wipe the glass dry with a clean microfibre, then treat with a degreaser to remove the last traces of glue.
Tips
- Work in warm weather: under the influence of the sun, the film peels off more easily. In the cold, the process will be more difficult.
- Take your time: Don't try to remove the entire film at once. It is better to work in small sections.
- Be patient: the process of removing the film can take a long time. The main thing is accuracy and sequence of actions.
By removing the film yourself, you will save money and time! And by following these simple tips, you can remove the tint without damaging your car's windows.
