I got off the tint in one piece, but its still sticky from the glue.
I tried rubbing alcohol as well as amonia based glass cleaner but the paper towel still stuck to it and it looks like crap now.

This is on a front window, so I don't have to worry about the defroster or anything. Should I just get a razor and go at it or what?

usually just standard soap and water in a spray bottle will do it. i took mine off just last week due to a nice ticket. but use a rag instead of the paper towels so you don't have the white flakes everywhere. razor blade works well after the glues been sprayed down pretty good.

fingernail polish remover worked good on mine..........

3M Adhesive Remover followed by a nice cleaning. Worked great for me!

Lacquer thinner and some sort of scraper will do the trick nicely.

I also used Finger nail polish....... took a whole bottle to get the tint off my side windows..... was a real fun job..... Just make sure to get some with Acetone in it

The tint shop I have used on several occasions uses simple green and a razor blade.

I just had my tint redone last weekend. The guy used amonia right out of the bottle... well, straight amonia like you'd buy it in a bottle at the store Sprayed it on straight and wiped off the residual adhesive with a towel.

I ended up using some simple green, let it soak for a few mins, sprayed some more, then just wiped all the crap off with a towe. Looks fine, can't even tell it was there, well except for the fact that the other windows are tinted and this one isn't.

I was just doing this last night on the front two windows. A razor blade and some elbow grease will get most of the adhesive off. After that a bottle of Windex will work just as well as amonia, and better than all the other things I have heard (simple green, WD40, etc.). The Simple green does work, and works great for what I am about to describe, but for just removing glue the windex and amonia is better.

To save yourself some trouble if you do any other windows, especially the rear, I recommend the following: Saturate the tint with simple green. Then cover the window with cling wrap to hold the simple green against the window so it will not dry or run off. Let it sit for at least ten minutes, preferably in the sun on a hot day. Start at one corner with a razor blade to pick the tint off. Then slowly peel it off. This should get the tint to take most of the adhesive with it. Then get the remaining adhesive with amonia or windex. Just be sure to get all the residual glue off, or it will be stick and rough to touch.

I did one window with this method, and one without. I assure you that it is a lot easier to spend a little extra time with the simple green and cling wrap. Otherwise you will be spending a lot more time with a razor blade and windex.
