Stew Pid · 2006-02-26T12:06:25+00:00

Hi,Just picked up my Impreza WRX import from the docks and starting to sortsome of things out on it.Somebody has kindly put window tint on the back windows, but rather thanthe normal film that I am used to seeing, it looks to have been sprayedon. It looks awful with patchy bits and runs in it.So I am looking for suggestions on how to remove it. I have triedcellulose thinners and it didn't really do anything, scraping doesn'tremove anything, plus I can't really scrape the back screen because ofthe heater elements.Open to any good ideas.Thanks

Only if you plan on cleaning it with cellulose thinners,

That depends how long it's been on there. If it's been in the sun for a while it will be pretty well baked on in any case.

Sodium silicate will bond to glass at the molecular level.
