Just dish soap is fine, you do not want to use any solvents.

I forgot to add, it's going to be very messy. Try to keep what you scrape on the plastic and make sure you tarp everything. 

It's not too tough especially if there are no defogger lines. Get some garbage bag plastic and cut it to the shape of the window, spray the window down with some soapy water and then cover the wet window with the plastic to keep the water from drying. Let this soak for a while and test removing some using a new single edge razor blade. If it has soaked long enough it should come off pretty easy, if not you make have to scrape a bit. Just keep it wet while you scrape. Use new blades to keep from scratching the glass and be careful.

People just suck.

During my time tinting I found customers were the worst part of the job. I went through every variation of the scenario you described, so each time I had a customer that didn't believe me about the drying time, or found some flaw that is more visible with tint etc, I realized they would not believe me if I explain this after the job is done because it sounds like bullsht excuses.

I realized I had to preempt the situation before the work even begins.

You need to tell the customer about drying time, and normal amount of imperfections BEFORE you start the job and also give it to them in writing BEFORE the job, When they drop the car off and they are choosing a film or whatever, hand them a hard copy of this: https://www.tintdude.com/care.html/ and go over it with them so they know what to expect.

Sorry the quality is so low, it's 15 years old, but here's the Ryk shrink...

There are a bunch of different ways to do it. Wet, dry, baby powder, dryer sheet residue, laundry starch, 2 gun Ryk shrink, Mdog soap method and on and on. The film behaves differently with each one. I don't think I've ever seem 2 people do it the exact same way.

Move all the excess from the sides to the top and bottom. You want the sides flat before shrinking as the film wont shrink on the horizontal, only the vertical.

I've been contemplating getting my vehicle windows tinted, and I was curious about whether the tint goes on the inside or outside. Your video clarified that for me, and I appreciate it.

It goes on the inside.

The video is ironic because we work the film on the outside, then install it inside. Everyone sees us shaping the film on the outside and says, "I thought it went on the inside.".

Not new and not easy to install.  

I'd let it dry, see what remains and if it doesn't bug you...

I can tell right now some of that isn't going away. What I've circled are water spot stains on the outside (nobody's fault) and some contamination under the film(the ones with a black spot in the middle) and maybe some smeared adhesive on the long ones.

No, that's trapped air. It might push down.

Roughly 20% x 5% or .2 x .05 = .01 or 1%

Hey great to hear from you! We still send people your way.  

Those are giant water and air pockets. Take it back and have them redo.

Sandbag?

What is that?

Looks like I'm your first subscriber.  

Wow that worked really well, nice job on the video too.
