glue removal from tinted windows
 

Can anyone please suggest an easier way of removing the glue left behind from the removal of front window tints.
I have spent the best part of 2 hrs scraping the glue of with a stanley blade then spraying wd40 onto the window repeating this process several times.thanks in advance leehttp://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...es/ponder2.gif

Nail varnish remover, works a treat. Did my 2 fronts in about 20 minutes. Need to keep the cloth quite wet, don't go too easy on the application.

good luck,

as above or white spirit will also work, but nail varnish remover probly smells better:lol1:

Chewing gum remover is good too.

you could use Autoglym glue and tar remover. Works fine and readily available. As its petroleum based you will need to use a glass cleaner afterwards.

will try nail polish remover tommorow my wife has plentiful supply,need to do passenger side window tommorow going to leave rear windows tinted ,then pc plod is off the case then lol cheers guys new someone would have the answer

I used nail polish remover on mine. Worked a treat until i found out it was the other halfs "good" stuff:brickwall

Cheap meths is better. It's not oily like white spirits and it's less hard work!

try warming it up (hair-dryer used carefully...)

u need thinners some rag and a filler spreader works a treat put the thinners on leave for 30 secs and scrape off

we use heat guns at work for shrinking sleeving over cables ,tried that it seems to make it worse even more sticky,and harder to get off , i tried wd40 last night works a treat just used a full can of the bloody stuff at a cost of £4.00 cheap meths next an other ideas anyone....

Brake cleaner.

I used this befor, was advised on here some time back. I got it from ebay but dont seem to be any on at the mo.

i took my front tints off a while ago now. to get the residue glue off, i used a little bit of v-power (yes, petrol), on a cloth and the glue came straight off. :thumb:
