After a long time, your car’s tint will peel off, which is disgustingly ugly if you ask us. It would be better for you to remove or scrape it off, just to give your car some saving grace. Of course, the best course of action is letting us do that job for you. However, your budget might be tight this month, but it doesn’t mean that you should just let your car be like that.
What we’re saying is that you can fix that yourself. Though, be informed that that is not a job for people with poor dexterity. One wrong move and you might scratch your window so deep that air can pass through it. It’s an exaggeration, yes; however, we’ve seen a lot of cases of DIY fails.
Anyway, the materials you need are: a clean rag, a single edge razor, and a spray cleaner. Solvents can work, too, but make sure that you use protective garments. Also, make sure that you choose a solvent that is gentle to your car window material and paint if you go with the solvent route. You just need to remove the adhesive on the tint, not the window itself.
Do note that your car tint is just a film that sticks on your car’s windows. It’s not paint. Don’t even try to use a paint stripper.
Moving forward, use your razor to get the corner of the tint to come off. After that, the next step is to gently pull the film away from the window.
Don’t completely remove the tint yet. When you are a few steps away for detaching it from the window, spray some cleaner or solvent on the window. Once that’s done, put the film back to the window, and let it sit there for 15 to 20 minutes. Rinse and repeat until all the adhesive and remaining tint is still on the window.
After all that, use your rag to wipe the residues of the cleaner, solvent, and tint on the glass. Then you’re done! To replace that tint, just go to your local car shop and just follow the instructions on the product. Basically, you just need to stick that new film, and your car will be good as new.
