My rear window glass has very old, very baked on tint film on both sides, as well as lots of sticky gunk from the tint and stickers. What's the best way to clean all this off? The tint is so attached, it almost feels like part of the glass! It must have been on there for quite some time, baking in the sun over decades. I've tried peeling it but, as you can see below, some ripped off, leaving the stubborn parts behind.

Thanks, Luke.

PineSol....get a couple of 2 gallon jugs (regular not lemon) at Home Depot and a homer bucket or a large tub. Soak it 1/2 at a time cover the bucket and glass sticking out with a garbage bag. Let it sit for a week or so then flip. Uses sponge with a greenie and ‘gently’ scrub with water, German glass is soft an a greenie with to much pressure will scuff it.

PineSol has a high ammonia content, is cheap and fairly benign stuff. Will make your garage smell piney fresh....LOL

I’ve used the PineSol soak for a lot of stuff over the years, cuts rust, grease, glues, gums, boogers, paint yet doesn’t seem to effect rubber...will make your aluminum case halves and cylinder heads shine. The worst it will do is remove zinc plating, if it’s silver or yellow zinc, it’ll be grey steel in a week.

For your back window, those long low tubs they put Christmas wrap in???
