How to remove toning with your own hands

Car toning can be ordered at any major car service center or done by yourself, having received some expert advice. It is much more difficult to remove the tint film from the windows of the car on its own. And the need for this arises periodically. For example, if the car was tinted several years ago, and the film starts to move away from the windows from time to time, sometimes gathering in unsightly folds. In addition, it is very susceptible to scratches, which give the car a slovenly untidy appearance. Often, the rapid removal of toning is a forced action performed by the STSI. That's when the question arises as to how to remove the tinting as quickly as possible and without glue stains on the side and windshield.

The way to remove the tint film from the glass surface is quite simple, but very laborious. Before removing the toning, you will need to evenly warm the entire glass surface to a temperature of approximately 40 degrees. This is done in order to soften the adhesive base. To heat the glass, you can use a conventional household hairdryer. It is necessary to make sure that the glass does not overheat and does not burst. When the surface temperature reaches the desired value, you should carefully pick up the edge of the film with a sharp knife and pull it toward you. If it is a side window, then before you remove the toning, you should lower it to half. This greatly facilitates the process of tearing the upper corner of the film from the glass.

There are two ways to separate the tinting:

1. Quick way. The film is torn off with a sharp movement down. The positive side of this method is the expenditure of a small amount of time, negative - the film can tear, and then it will be necessary to repeat the entire process anew.

2. Slow way. The essence of it is to carefully remove the film from the glass. In this case, it is necessary to slowly pull it towards yourself with one hand, and the second to clean off the adhesive from the released area. Plus this method - accuracy and accuracy of work, minus - loss of a large amount of time.

It is worth noting that in both cases there will be stains on the glass from the glue base, which will have to be washed additionally. Removing toning with your own hands is difficult also because this glue is extremely difficult to remove. Of course, you can scrape off stains with a knife, but then the chances are that the glass will be damaged and there will be scratches on it.

Therefore, before removing the toning, make sure that you have at hand all the necessary cleaning agents.

It is noticed that the usual 96% alcohol handles this problem, which can be purchased at any nearest pharmacy. Not bad showed himself and "Mr. Muscle" on ammonia. In addition, any glass cleaning liquid sold in auto shops is suitable. After removing all stains, you should carefully wash the windows with a usual dishwashing detergent - this will permanently remove the glue and fat particles.
