FOr the tint, Use a heat gun and heat the film up, spray some window cleaner (if you want) everywhere and then start from the corner and use a thin blade and start to remove the tint from one side to the other.
for paint.. maybee use claybar.. for use for window and mayb window too.

razor blade, steam/heat gun , window cleaner, steel wool should be able to get everything off without causing any damage

say if im taking tint from the rear window and i use a heatgun, would it heat up them brown lines (the brown lines that make fog go away) and fall or melt off ?

only use a heat guna no blade for the rear.... those

"brown lines" are elements yea they warm up to remove the
dew from outside and condensation inside

if you use a blade on them theyre most likely going to lose there protection cover

just use a heat guna and work in one area at a time

maybe get a knife blade and cut out squares so u work in sqaures each time
dont heat one area for too long u can crack the glass :thumbsup:

well i went out to buy a heatgun and found out it didnt work like i exspected to then i went to do some research and found steam was my weapon...
i ended up using my mum's ironer and it did the job... might do a DIY on this later on..
