WINDOW TINTING AND MORE . . . . .
All window film deteriorates with age and eventually
have to be removed. Two of the most common symptoms
of dying film are the dreaded "purple film" and the
"bubbling film".

Purple film is caused by non-metallic dyes in the film
breaking down and changing color. Bubbling film is a
sign that the adhesive used to apply the tint to the
window is drying out. After a single bubble appears,
many more will follow.

Before going futher, KINGTINT.COM recommends that
you have the window tint removal performed by a
trained professional.

The process can take up to 3 hours and is not easy or
pleasant. Improperly removing window tint can damage
defroster lines and radio reception. Is the $50 you save
worth the time and risk? If you aim to get the car tinted
again, many tint shops will throw in the window tint
removal for free with a new tint job.
1. Cut the garbage bag in roughly the shape of the
window, spray soapy water on the outside, cover it with
the black trash bag and smooth the plastic flat.

Most window tint is constructed of multiple layers of
film. When left under the hot sun, the garbage bag will
absorb heat, helping the film peel off in one piece.
2. Protect all inside surfaces near the rear window with
a tarp: speakers, rear light, and upholstered surfaces,
then spray the entire window film with undiluted ammonia.

Undiluted ammonia has a strong smell. It is recommended
that you hold your breath or wear a face mask.
3. While the ammonia is still wet, trap the ammonia
against the window film with another trash bag or
plastic wrap. Park the car with the rear window facing
the sun for an hour to soften the tint's adhesive.
4. Now we can start peeling the window film. Use your
fingernail or razor blade lift the window film in a
corner of the window, and try to peel the film off in one
entire piece. Keep the tint moist with ammonia as you strip.

Use a razor blade to scrape off any tint that did not peel.
Be careful not to cut the defroster lines.
5. Remove the any residual adhesive with ammonia and
Super-Fine steel wool, wiping with paper towel before it
dries.

Remove the exterior trash bag, and clean window
thoroughly with glass cleaner.
