The methods to remove adhesive from car film are: 1. Use vinegar to remove adhesive. Apply vinegar evenly on the residual adhesive with a cotton swab, wait for the vinegar to blend with the adhesive, then slowly remove it with a cloth or scraper; 2. Use essential balm to remove adhesive. Apply the essential balm multiple times on the adhesive, then slowly scrape it off with a knife; 3. Use car heat insulation cleaner to remove adhesive. Spray the specialized car heat insulation cleaner on the adhesive to be removed, and the adhesive will melt immediately, then wipe it off with a cloth; 4. Use alcohol to remove adhesive. Apply alcohol on the adhesive to soften it, then slowly scrape it off with a knife. The main functions of car film are to block ultraviolet rays, reduce heat, prevent injuries caused by flying glass, reduce glare, and protect personal privacy based on the one-way transparency of the solar film.
Removing adhesive from car film is something I often do myself. First, prepare tools such as a hairdryer or heat gun, plastic scraper, alcohol or specialized adhesive remover, and gloves. Use the heat gun or hairdryer to soften the adhesive, but avoid excessive heat to prevent glass damage. Then, gently scrape with the plastic scraper without applying too much pressure to avoid damaging the film surface. For residual adhesive, wipe with alcohol or spray adhesive remover to dissolve it completely. Remember to wear gloves to protect your skin, as chemicals can be harmful. Finally, wash the area with soapy water to remove any residue. Take your time during the process—safety first. This method is cost-effective and avoids the need for professional services. After cleaning, check the smoothness of the glass to ensure safety.
