Where and how much to remove window film glue?

[Tohdj]

Had to remove my front side windows' film. Now there's a thick layer of glue stuck on them. Tried kerosene, thinner, Goo Goner and its still there. The window film maker really applied too much adhesive on their films...

 

Anybody knows whether there's shops willing to use razor blades to scrap the glue off? And how much?

tried lighter fluid? zippo brand. when i was a in sec school i worked part-time in an industrial area and they used lighter fluid to remove sticky stuff.

Isopropyl alcohol, also known as rubbing alcohol. Available at most supermarkets & all pharmacies. Apply the alcohol to a clean cloth & rub on the glue. When the alcohol starts to evaporate, just apply more & so on. Just be careful not to get it on your plastic trim, else may discolor. Worked for me.

3M adhesive remover spray canister, even has this citrus smell...

 

scrapping off the glue is simple, just apply concentrated mama lemon, hold the blade by the side, angled down. use gloves if u not sure so u wun get cut. just do the swiping motion and it sud come off fairly easy enough

apply a layer of autosol and wait for it to dry about 15mins.

then use a scrapper with some water to scrap it off.

very easy and no scratches.

Thanks to all for the info.

 

Finally removed most of it from 1 window. bearbear was right..."when the alcohol was about to evaporate, just applied more". I applied the thinner on a small area over a few times and it gradually got removed. For the really stubborn ones, i put the razor flat onto the window and slide it into them, and slowly pushed it in and out until it cut through the glue.

 

Still got 1 more window to do...sigh!!!!
