Take your time removing the tints, to try and minimise the resin they leave behind!

I think i just used glass cleaner + elbow grease/time to remove the sticky residue.

My fronts were letting just about 30% light through, IIRC. Fortunately he was a nice police chap and said if i remove them ASAP nothing will come of it. And so i did..

I take it your car was made after 2001 and you dont have a certificate dated around or before then?

Unless the law has changed again.

they have to let 75% if light in

The cop said windows as standard let 75% of light in so any tint is illegal

If you don't like light, just get some blinds installed.

T-Cut glass? may aswell get a rock and do it... T-Cut is an abrasive.


Nail polish remover will do it, but you'll get high off the fumes
