Default Tint removal

I have a tint job that was done poorly, and am looking for suggestions on the best way to remove it. I realize I can peel the tint off in little peices, but that is aggrivating and time consuming. Also, I am still left with the adhesive on the window.

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance,
stein

Who was it done by? If you ever come to greenville to get tint done Professional Glass Tinting does an excellent job and is a good guy to deal with. They have done mine 4-5 times

1st time got 35%
2nd was because 35 was not dark enough so i put 40% on top of it.
3rd Police were not to fond of it. Came out to like 15% on their tint thing. Which they took it off and put it back on for $50
4th Parents were not to happy with them being that dark. Only charged $50 again to take it off and put it back on.
All of this was on the tahoe

So 4 times. He hand cuts everthing

40% on the front 2 The tahoe is still in my parents name and they dont like it dark. But the day it goes in my name it will be getting redone. I would probablu put 20% over it. Yes the lower the # the darker. 35% is legal in NC

Yep 35% is the limit. The backs on trucks and suv's can be as dark as you want. If you wanted you could paint them black
