Burning old film off: project of the day

[TintWizard]

Now that I have an iPhone , I can kinda show you folks a method of getting old film off quick that's so far gone , it has layer separation. My posts we'll get better as I get more used to this damn phone with respect to taking pictures and using the new Tapatalk lol

1. 24 yr old tint job I did when this car was new

2. Spray with ammonia and place garbage bag over sprayed deteriorated film:

3. After torching it EVENLY with 40000btu of heat for 2 min. It will now peel off with ease and no layer separation or tiny pieces.

Total time : 5min

Sorry for the order of the pictures, they should be reversed

Nice TW, I have never torched it to speed up the process but now I know...... get er done

I've used a torch many times for back glass removal bc I don't have steamer. Glad that wasn't a nightmare.

Paint looks good after 24 yrs.

This is my method for 70% of the removals I do, thanks to TW. No matter the weather or conditions it is a quick way to get it done.

you torch it inside or outside?

I just made a large post and tapa talk crashed on me .damn

I'll try this again yes you heat on the outside you spray and place the garbage bag on the inside. When done properly you will see the bubbled tint actually get bigger bubbles and the black garbage bag will start to boil. No matter how bad the old job was their will be no layer separation and all of the tint will come off in seconds.

We've all been caught with our pants down with a bad strip down job. This method has bailed me out of many a nightmare jobs in regards to layer separation

What do you use to get the remaining adhesive off?

I use a strong cleaner that basically turns it to snot. Just seeing if you do the same, because that's still not fun
