thank you - great to know polishing should remove it. 🙏 I appreciate you and all the others who took the time to reply.

no, aside from window cleaner I’ve not tried anything else yet like goo gone, a razerblade, etc… I’ll probably leave that to the detailer. question: when polishing glass will it impact the visibility after? I guess I’m now weighing between having them try to correct it or just leaving it be.

I’ll look into that product, thank you. I was speaking with the tint shop and they said they can have their detailer attempt to polish it out for me. (Fingers crossed)

As far as I can tell @Bhamit seems to be on the outside of the glass.

One more photo (not up close) to give a better view of its scope/size.

Brand new vehicle, went to a reputable tint shop and had Formula One Stratos installed. When all was done the shop pointed out to me that they noticed an area on the back passenger window that looked like adhesive or residue but it would not come off. They said maybe it came from the factory this way or something? Running your fingernail over the area you can very barely feel a difference. What is weird it's almost a perfect arch and looks like a white residue with a sort of pattern to it. You can see it more so at certain angles and under brighter light. I have tried to clean it off with glass cleaner to no avail. I will attach a photo but it's kind of hard to show it accuratelty so apologies in advance. I'd love to hear your input on the following: 1. Is there any way possible that the tint shop somehow caused this? I know tint goes on the inside but is there any prep, adhesive, heating to shrink etc.. that might have left this mark? In all fairness it's possible it was there before I tinted the vehicle but I am just surprised I would not have noticed it since the rear windows came factory dyed (I think someone said 20-25 measured) and looking from both the outside and inside I never saw it. The tint added was 50 so certainly darker and thus blemishes more visible. 2. Is something like this fixable? Assuming it can maybe be buffed out or something? If doing so would it impact visibility in that area when looking out or in? Worst case I just live with it. Thank you so much for any and input.
