a razr, and a bottle of windex. It will take you about an hour or so to do the whole car. If you can find somthing as sharp as a razr and bigger...that would be good.

He's in Richmond Hill but right at the border between there & Markham.

Major intersection: Highway 7 & Leslie.

It wouldn't be really hard to screw-up just scraping Tint off saves you prolly 100 bucks if not more..

Cheetah at least try doing it. If you screw it up, take it in to a professional. Its not complicated like a engine swap or something. Im sure you can figure it out

Wowwww, tried removing the tint like an hour ago. Quit half way through the first window (passenger window). It was leaving some gay marks and ----. Im like ---- this rather study for my exams lol. Anyhow called Jeff at Audio Heaven (Thanks to onelankan). He said 100 bux to remove it all. Tomorow I will be going there . Thanks for all your help guys! If i'd choose between getting it done for a 100 bux and scrapping all 5 windows including the big hatchback windshield.. Go for the 100 LOL!

if it leaves that sticky jizz stain stuff just use more windex and wipe it hard it's not that hard to remove tints you can use nail polish remover or rubbing alcohol to get the sticky stuff off too. Just make sure not to scrap any of the wires on the back window

Yeah, its really annoying that sticky jizz stain. The tint is really annoying too because when I peel, it becomes two layers at one point and then i'd have to remove the thinner layer left on the window which is a bitch.

it takes time and patience man... don't just give up, and try to do it slowly and spend hours doing it and it will come out right... This is not something you can just scrape off in less than an hour... it will surely take you a lot more time than that dude!!! but do whatever makes you happy.

100 dollars to remove 4 windowns and one huge rear window professionally is not that much if you think about it. So you don't have to be rich :P
