Today the windows of almost all cars are covereddarkening film. Toning not only protects against ultraviolet radiation and prying eyes, but also serves as a factor that will not allow the glass to fly apart and injure passengers in case of damage, while preserving the safety of people. But there are situations when the opposite effect is required - glass raston. Let's talk about whether it's possible to do it yourself and what is important to know.
Most often you need to remove the film from the frontside and windshield, as by law any application that interferes with the survey is prohibited on them. Nevertheless, many people neglect the rules and, wanting to improve the aesthetics of the car or hide from prying eyes, darken their car. A traffic policeman who stopped such a vehicle has the right to issue a resolution demanding that the glass of the car be drawn in a certain period of time.
Another reason is the desire to establish anotherfilm. For example, a person found a more attractive option for himself, or the old tint, after serving his term, burned out, becoming noticeably lighter. Of course, there is such an option to paste a new layer on top of the old one. But it is worth remembering that in this case, all the scratches and other damages that are present on the existing coating will become noticeable from the outside, which will spoil the appearance of the car.
In this case there are only 2 options:
Actually remove the blackout film from the glasscar is not difficult, so if you do not want to pay money for a service or just do not have time to go anywhere, you can do it yourself. Now let's talk about how to do it.
Ideally, it is necessary to make glass rastings using a construction hair dryer. This device is far from every car owner, so we will also consider options for removing the film without it.
So, in addition to the construction hair dryer (or with the exception of it), it is necessary to prepare:
PreparatoryEvents. First, in the cold season, the temperature of the glass should match the room temperature, so that it does not burst when heated by a hair dryer. Secondly, you need to put everything you need in the immediate vicinity so that it's convenient to work. Third, remove the seals from the doors. Fourth, have patience, because there are films that are hard to remove.
There are two ways - quick and accurate. The choice depends entirely on the circumstances. For example, if time allows, why not make a removal of toning by all the rules ?!
If necessary, you need to do this quickly with a fingernailor by any sharp object, gently pull the top edge of the film from both sides so that you can grasp it with your hands. Next, you have to make a sharp jerk, in one move, removing it completely, and not pieces. If you tear off the tint slowly, most likely, it will tear, especially in the center, where adhesion is strongest. After the toning is removed, it remains only to remove the glue residues. To do this, it is best to use a soap solution and a cleaning blade. Using a spray gun, the liquid is sprayed onto the glass. The glue is removed from top to bottom, then the glass must be wiped with window cleaner.
Some for removing the layer of glue during rastonationthe glass is recommended to use a solvent. Such a radical method is undesirable, since this fluid is harmful to both humans and cars - door, plastic and textile parts can be damaged. Moreover, the glue base in the tint films is made on the basis of silicone, which is easily cleaned with soapy water. So there is no need to use a solvent.
It is best to carry out the glass panningcar with the use of a construction hair dryer, as the guarantee of a positive result in this case is increasing. Initially, it is necessary to warm the top part of the glass (lowering it downwards) with warm air, the temperature does not exceed 45 ° C, because the film will melt. Evenly warming it up, pulling the corner of the toning, then gently pull it down, while pressing the ruler or other flat object to the glass. At the same time you need to warm up the film with a hairdryer. And if in the previous case it was necessary to make a sharp jerk, here, on the contrary, careful and slow actions are required. When the toning is removed, it remains only to remove the adhesive layer.
The main problem to be aware of beforethe way to remove the tint - in 99% of the cases along with it the filaments of the heating system are removed. This applies in particular to the rear windshield. They can also be located on the windows. Even when heated by a hairdryer when the glass of the car is rasped by oneself, the probability of damage to the heating is preserved. Therefore, it is worthwhile to think carefully before removing the film.
