I cannot advise against this enough!

When I bought my saxo, the previous owner had tinted the rear windows limo black with spray. Unfortunately, it hadn't been done particularly well and had run in streaks down the windows, making it almost impossible to see out of.

It took me the best part of a day, a plastic scraper and an array of chemical products to undo his "styling".

Save yourself the time and don't do it!

Quite amusing to read but sucks about how long it took you to get it all off :n:

I think I still have photos of it midway through removing the tint on my laptop, let me see if I can find them to deter anybody from ever considering spray tinted windows...

No luck finding them, which is a shame! Should really be more proactive in archiving what I've done to my car. :(
