Glass cleaner question

[robvas]

Suggesting on getting this off this back window? I believe it might residue from tint or something?

Glass cleaner and elbow grease seem to work but it's a very awkward place to get to the lower it is on the window and further back behind the seats.

It's like rings/bubbles.

I’d do a test area with rubbing alcohol. That tint glue is a bitch but I’d think alcohol would cut it quick.

Citrol would be my go to

Or Goo Gone. Wrap a rag around the end of stick/flat board and carefully apply the goo gone to the rag (so you're not getting the goo elsewhere)... BTW, Getting the Goo is not a good band name.

It looked like water etching to me, but it's on the inside so it has to be from a previous tint. How long have you noticed it, and how long have you had the car?

It's a recent pickup. I'm going to try some rubbing alcohol or goo gone as suggested, don't think I have any citrol.

This seems like what happened, and the tint was removed (all the windows seem to be tinted except the rear)

A paint mixing stick with a rag or something wrapped around it for the hard to get area can help.
I don't understand why there are so many bubbly tint jobs, I see them all the time. I guess it's the diy tint jobs.

I thought it was because of the rear window defrost? See how the bubbles are all in perfect lines?

I will just unplug it when I get it re-tinted since I won't drive the car when I would use the defrost

If none of that works, you can try some polish/compound and see if that will remove it.

Agree with recommendations to try alcohol, GOO GONE, and/or polish/compound.

As for physical implements, Windshield WOW! isn't cheap, but it makes hard-to-reach places a little easier to handle.

WOW! Pun intended. My wife was just watching the Windshield WOW video and wanted to buy it for me/us. Then she saw the price. LOL. It is expensive. But it does seem to make cleaning hard to get at glass areas much easier.

I thought the same thing. A friend talked me into buying one at SEMA, where there were some savings offered. I still think they're expensive, but I also think they work well. I'd also offer their customer service appears excellent, with them quickly addressing a minor issue my friend reported with his.

Obviously, YMMV.

Thanks @Norton. It's intriguing, to say the least.
