White-Spirit / Turps anything with alcohol in it should work, after that polish the glass with some glass cleaner.

I used White spirits to get the tints of my brothers car, and a blade to scrape the horrible bits of glue thats left on it once the sheet of tints is removed, it takes ages to get it all of, but made the car look less tacky.

Thanks for the help guys

I've just been to local motor store, got myself some auto glym....
It does work, but a very slow process.

Might try turps or thinners or something..

If the person who had the scoob before me didn't go so dark with the tints, i wouldn't have removed them....

Just for the record people, if anyone has the same problem paint thinners is the gear to do the job..

High as a kite after doing all five windows like, but a great sticky glue remover

T-CUT, or Poundland Tar Remover, or the missus Nail Varnish remover. Basically, anything with Acitone in it

Using white spirit, soak an area at a time and use a decorators paint scraper to remove the glue. Key is to do a small area at a time like t-cutting a car. It works - kind of!?
