Get a straight razor blade and go at it, make sure your takeing the old adhessive off with the tint or it will take for ever.

I used Prep-Sol solvent from the body shop at my Fathers dealership. Worked well, but took a lot of rubbing to get the adhesive off.

I hate window tint!

The tint off is great you pull the film back, spray the entire window then lay peel the film back up, let it sit for a few minutes and you can scrap it right off with a razor blade.

alright that sounds liek the best bet.. my car while it was sitting for the first 3 years.. the guys bro decided to take it on a joy ride.. and road it hard and when he brought it back he didnt shut the door all the way so water got in a lil bit and then the sun came around and boiled the water basically.. so its all peeling from that.. kinda sucks

use a razor blade and WD40 works great for purple tint

I usually use the "Tint Off" or windex with ammonia in it. The ammonia seems to help break down the adhesive in the tinting.

I have had success using liquid dish washing soap (Dawn). A bit messy but took the adhesive off. This method was recommended by a tinting shop. Good Luck.

right. that's actually my job. comercial/residential window tinting. just use a 6'' blade and water/dishwashing soap and call it good.

The best and easiest stuff I have used so far.

Be sure to keep using "SHARP" razor blades as well.
