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. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.postimg.cc-22382-1600306843.1.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.postimg.cc-22382-1600306844.2.jpg) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i.postimg.cc-22382-1600306844.3.jpg) |

 https://www.homedepot.com/p/ZEP-32-oz-Strea...12032/100676308 After trying Oven-off, Zep Orange Concentrate, Windex, solvents, alchohol, acetone, this is the stuff that flat out clean works. Use a thin, flexible old school razor, always pushing away from appendages, use care to not snap the razor and slice off a fingertip. Patience, sweat, determination, perseverance. Never scrape across deposited heater elements, parallel. Patience.. |
