I've been given use of a rental car for a while and I need tinted windows.

Are there any good solutions without applying regular hard to remove tint?

Thanks

Hairy potter/bubble city.....but hey....I'm not picky    lol

And on that happy ass note....I'm going outside to apply my new tint.

WITHOUT WINDEX   lol

To the Lynch mob...

Well if you haven’t realized by now, this forum is not geared toward the DIY, but more for industry professionals.

That would make sense.  

I guess i didn't realize that but it's become painfully clear.

Even the PROs started somewhere.

Hopefully when the jackwads that lynched my question have questions about new products or techniques, someone will return the kindness and tell them to stick it where the sun don't shine and do their best to make them feel bad about asking.    Karma

Out of the now 32 results when searching Windex, only 9 are from this thread.  So there was plenty there before this thread.  

Last time.....

I INITIALLY SEARCHED AND GOT NOTHING.

Now, after examining the search tool AT THIS FORUM, I see there are options I didn't see at first.....I'm perfect, never make mistakes, so shoot me why don't you

Why do people's panties get all wadded up if someone asks a question even if it's been asked before?

At some forums they encourage asking because things change over time.

At other forums, God forbid you ask something that's been answered before.....it sends the simpletons into wild hysteria.

Asking is human nature.  So maybe I could have spent more time researching.....screw that.   I did about 10 minutes searching before I asked and I felt that was enough of my time spent searching and if someone helpful cared to assist then I would get a more precise answer AND end the searching.

Thank GOD for people who don't mind helping someone along their journey.

Well, I went to the General Discussion and entered WINDEX there.

And got nothing.   NOW there is a good bit there thanks to this thread

No No NO!!!

You typed in REMOVING TINT.

That's NOT what I was looking for.  I was APPLYING TINT.

How the hell was I supposed to know to search REMOVING TINT when I was APPLYING TINT ???

PLEASE!!!

At the time I first searched I got ZERO results

What did you type into the search?

Don't use windex for slip. instead use Joy Non-Ultra or Dawn Simple Clean at the rate of 1 oz per gallon (or 8mls per liter) for slip. You can also use the same slip to clean the glass before install.

THANK YOU !!!!

I knew there was a least one or two tolerant, knowledgeable tint pros at this forum 

You made it look easy.....like a BOSS

Not deserved      

 

If you can't handle the fact that you didn't search this site well enough before you started sounding like someone "trolling the pros" or sounding like some newbie installer who won't listen to the proper advise being given and just starts throwing out random, dumb sounding questions... then we can't help you.  

 

Try just a little harder on your search on here, not Google, and I am 100% sure you will find all of these questions answered.  

WHAT???

Are not reading the posts above?  I DID search.

Another member already confirmed it DID NOT SHOW UP IN THE FORUM SEARCH.

Instead of all that bullshit and gymnastics...why not just answer the question?

It is repeated over and over about Windex containing Ammonia...Google window tint/ammonia and you will see that is bad.  Also you will notice every single search result is about using Windex to REMOVE window tint...specifically the adhesive.  Then you ask if you can use Windex on the adhesive to make it slide around.

Nope.....I did a search on THIS forum and you agreed nothing came up in the search.

I Googled what came to mind...WINDEX + WINDOW TINTING and waded through a dozen or so places but none specifically said it was bad or not enough to confirm.

What you're saying isn't clearly spelled out in the information I found.   Rather than spend three days searching....I just asked.   Shoot me.

SO...I asked the question on the forum..

And got a Cyber Lynching over it.....

NOW that I've asked, the next noob will find it if they search...after seeing how many twits are on the forum first.  LMAO.  See how nice that is?

Sorry, I see no such "Red Flags" you mentioned

But thanks for an answer to the question.....finally.

GEEZUZ!!!

Getting a simple answer around here is worse than pulling teeth.

To answer your question, no there is nothing on search specifically about your question.

Thank you.  So then asking seems to be the way to find out wouldn't you agree?

Folks,

Being silly and giving quippy answers and all is fine and in fun.

But when you get serious and chastise a newcomer over asking questions...suggesting they are asking childish questions, and suggesting they should do a search first, when you haven't even checked to see what comes up in the search tool first......well, that's out of line in my opinion.

That becomes a personal attack that wasn't deserved.

North or South America?

First, tell me...is Atlanta GA in North or South America?

Makes no sense to answer unless you know this

Please tell me not everyone is an intolerant assclown at this forum????

Is this forum based out of San Francisco?

Maybe, just maybe you should do a LITTLE MORE research before you ask questions that sound like they are coming from a 6 year old.    

Try reading a few of the informative threads on here for one.   

Now hold on there Nelli.

Do you really thank that's necessary?   So you folks are wetting your panties because someone inexperienced with tinting asks questions at a TINTING FORUM?  Really???

Didn't you have questions when you got started?

Googling it yielded about as much conflicting nonsense as this thread has.

You'd think you could get an answer to a TINTING question at a TINTING FORUM huh?

If I knew all this shit....why would I need to find a tinting forum to post the question Einstein?

Try this...go to the search tool at the top of this page and type in WINDEX......get back to me with the results k?

For Christs sake.

What's happened to people in America?

When I'm visiting Asia or nearly ANYWHERE else in the world, people don't act disrespectful like this.

Or maybe acetone.....

Maybe I made a mistake with the randomly picked forum username.   Seems to bring all the clowns out

Anyway to change it?

Or to be on the safe side, just use straight water.  That way there is nothing to make any film go bad.  It should stick just fine with straight water.  

Doesn't the Windex help the film slide better than plain water?   If not, then I can see that plain water might be better.

After the super glue comment, hard to tell if the first part is sincere

Tomorrow morning I'll be applying new tint over existing tint and over factory tint.

Any problem with using Windex?

I've used it on both my cars and TBH, it went fairly easy and seems to have dried and adhered well.

Would liquid hand-soap and water be better?

I've heard the ammonia in windex causes some problems in some tints.

Received my 30% tint today.   Tomorrow I'll install it.

Whatever I get is what I'll stay with.   For now.

Thanks for all the good advice.   Appreciated.

Good point sunbreakers.  he should have said "exempt"...not "legal"

I have 15 on my windshield and it’s totally legal where I live. So as an installer you wouldn’t install legal tint? If you think someone can barely see out of 35 percent at night then you either have crappy headlights or are blind.

This is what you said and it is deceptive since you did not mention any medical conditions.   People can't assume you have a condition.

Your posts come over as immature and irresponsible regardless.
