Can the text on the front windshield film be removed?

The text on the front windshield film can be removed. If it cannot be removed, do not force wiping as it may damage the installed glass film, and such film may also affect nighttime driving. Vehicle window film refers to a thin film-like material applied to the front/rear windshields and side windows of motor vehicles. This film is called solar film or heat insulation film. The main functions of heat insulation film include blocking ultraviolet rays, reducing heat transmission, preventing glass shattering injuries, and protecting personal privacy through its one-way visibility feature.
The brand lettering on the windshield film of the car I bought was noticeable, and I had tried to remove it myself before. Generally, the lettering can be removed, but it requires careful handling. I sprayed mild glass cleaner on a soft cloth and gently wiped the lettered area a few times, which worked effectively. The key is not to scrape hard or use sharp tools to avoid scratching the glass or damaging the film. The film itself is UV-resistant, and the manufacturer's sprayed lettering tends to fade over time with dust accumulation, so gentle treatment can clean it up. I recommend testing the method on a small, inconspicuous corner first. If the lettering is stubborn, it might be a low-quality film, and using a dedicated film cleaner would be safer. I shared this experience because it saves the hassle of going to a repair shop, but remember not to rush—protecting your vision and safety comes first.
