For modern drivers, the issue of toning is one of the most pressing. With the constant tightening of penalties for tinted windows, motorists have to take action. Otherwise, they face a considerable fine and spoiled mood. However, the removal of toning does not always occur under the fear of administrative punishment. Someone bought a tinted car, but does not see in the tint neither beauty nor convenience; it has been damaged over time and needs to be replaced; and forcing someone to get rid of her car sale to a new owner, who absolutely does not like the darkening of the glass.

The masters themselves

Modern car services have felt the "gold mine", widely advertising their services for removing tint film from auto glass. But for the services of professionals will have to pay. How to avoid it? Very simple - remove the tint yourself. Doing this manipulation with your own hands will allow the owner of the car to save not only money, but also time - you will not need to drive the car into service and stand in queues.

If you just pry and pull the tint from the glass, the result is unlikely to please you

At first, inexperienced car owners will not find the process of removing a tint film simple, but this is only at first glance. Anyone will be able to cope with this work, but before proceeding with it, it is necessary to become familiar with some of the nuances and take into account the mistakes often made in this matter.

Wrong are those who believe that in order to remove toning it is only necessary to gently pry its edges with a sharp object — a thin blade or a sharpened knife — and then slowly pull it off the glass surface. Many people use this handicraft method, but afterwards they notice mechanical damage on the glass, glue residues, knife cuts, etc. It is almost impossible to avoid them, and it is rather difficult to correct the situation.

Let's open a small secret: for a professional result there is a special technology. Having carefully studied and understood the theory of how to remove the old tint from the glass, it will not be difficult to put it into practice.

Four easy steps

The heated film can be removed from the glass much easier.

First, we are looking for an assistant. Together this process will be easier, faster and much better. One of the craftsmen heats the glass with the help of a building hair dryer, the second at this time gently removes the film. If the construction hair dryer is not at hand, the usual hairdresser hair dryer or heat gun will fit perfectly. The main condition is to heat the glass surface evenly, excluding the possibility of hot air entering the plastic parts around it. If you ignore this advice, you will have to face an unpleasant surprise - the plastic will lose its shape by melting.

Secondly, we choose the appropriate room for work. Since we are going to remove the tint from the glass with the use of a heating device, cold garages and low temperature boxes will definitely not work. If they produce heated glass, there will be a sharp temperature difference. The reaction to it will not take long - the glass surface is covered with cracks, or even completely burst.

Third, heat the glass properly. The ideal heating temperature is 40 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, the glue on which the film is “sitting” will soften properly and the film will not start to melt yet. Together, this will ensure ease of removing the tinting.

Fourthly, we still use a knife, but only to slightly pry the edge of the film. In no case do not need to scrape the surface of the glass!

Finishing touches

To facilitate the process of removing the film, you can use a special tool

If all stages of the above described technology are correctly followed, the result will pleasantly surprise you. Tinting film is easily and effortlessly removed with glue. The surface of the glass does not have to be subsequently processed by removing sticky marks. But, as they say, the first pancake is lumpy, and if it didn’t work out the first time to gently remove the tint from the glass without traces of glue, then it will be possible to get rid of it with a special tool. If you do not want to spend money, ordinary water will come up with a detergent diluted in it. However, this method of cleaning will take more time - after wetting the glass with water, you will have to wait 15 to 20 minutes, and after that, carefully remove glue marks with a scraper.
