no i found that googone didnt take it off as theres many layers of residue so i bought a razorblade for the front windows and side windows and just use a little soap and water to wet it....the guy at tint king said to use oven cleaner on the back but i think im gonna get him to do it....

Grab and peel, use soapy water to get the residue off... that's the correct way. Quick and dirty (and smelly) way is to get ammonia and use that... ewwwww stinky car!

Goo Gone and a razor blade......that's how I did my old car. Took about an hour to do the whole car. Use Goo Gone and a soft cloth on the back wondow, or else your heater/defoger lines will stop working.

(put Goo Gone into a spray bottle, and spray it onto the windows.......and try to keep it off the material inside the car)

Why do people want to remove tints? I want to get my white civic tinted up, it just costs a pretty penny when I need to pay for college and god damn insurance. Btw, does anyone know of a really good insurance company because mine is ripping me off. With collision its like 550$ per month. I cannot afford that, plus that is with a clean record, no accidents, no speeding tickets, nothing. Is it all because the nice little H on my car and the 2 door fact? Or what?
