i had to remove it off my sisters car, just peeled the film off, then rubbed white spirit on with a cloth to remove the glue, worked fine for me, but i might have been lucky!

i pull the window tint off (just used a shape knife on the edge) thats the easy bit..

then for the glue, i used vinegar and a brillopad, and tbh i used alot before that and that was the best thing to use..

took me about 6 hours to do all 5 windows, then once id done that i give them a buff with some window cleaner, then with some autoglym super resin polish...

come up a treat
