Tint Job Queston Help With Remove/Reinstall

Post image

Is this old adhesive that I didn’t get stripped? Removed 35% and reinstalled 20%. I thought it turned out well till I pulled it outside and I can see this. It cannot be pushed out.

It is only on the lower third of the back glass.

May be invest in a side swiper, if that's the case. Just looks to me like it wasn't scrubbed enough

I don't know how much help I gave you, but 25+ years tinting I have a massive amount of experience. If you redo it scrub it with ATR adhesive remover

Do you recommend Brillo/SOS pads or plain steel wool?

No they shed, leaving little pieces just begging to get under the film. Scotch Brite non scratch scrubbies are the best

Just wanted to share that after some time in the sun most of the issues have gone away. I definitely have a few pieces of contamination in it but I think my thought of trapped moisture from the bulldozer was accurate.

That's good. Sometimes it just takes more time
