Why remove old tint professionally

Fix bubbling & purple film

Old dyed film bubbles, hazes and turns purple. We remove it cleanly so your glass looks factory-fresh again.

Complete adhesive cleanup

DIY removal leaves sticky residue and scratches. We strip film and adhesive without damaging defroster lines.

Defroster-safe technique

We use heat and proper technique to protect rear-window defroster grids during removal.

Fresh re-tint option

Removing failed film is the perfect time to upgrade to LLumar ceramic with a lifetime warranty.

FAQ

Automotive — FAQ

Can you remove old window tint?
Yes. We professionally remove old, bubbled, faded or purple film from any vehicle, clean off all adhesive, and prep the glass — with or without a fresh re-tint.
Will tint removal damage my rear defroster?
Not when done professionally. We use controlled heat and the right technique to lift film without tearing the defroster grid lines, which DIY removal often damages.
Should I remove old tint before re-tinting?
Yes — new film must go on clean glass. We remove the old layer and all adhesive first, which is included in most re-tint estimates.
How much does tint removal cost?
It depends on the vehicle and how stubborn the old film is. Removal is often bundled into a re-tint quote. Contact us for a free estimate.
Can I just remove tint myself?
You can try, but DIY removal commonly leaves adhesive residue, scratches the glass and tears defroster lines. Professional removal protects your glass and saves time.
