How to Remove Car Window Film Adhesive?
2 Answers
Methods for removing car window film adhesive: 1. Alcohol: Prepare a soft and clean cloth, pour a small amount of alcohol onto the cloth, then wipe the area with the film adhesive. Repeat the process several times until it is completely removed; 2. Nail polish remover: It can effectively remove highly adhesive substances. Since nail polish and window film adhesive have similar properties, using nail polish remover can also eliminate the film adhesive; 3. Heat: Use a heat gun to warm the film adhesive. Heating reduces the adhesive's stickiness, allowing you to wipe it off with a soft, clean cloth. However, avoid using blades to prevent scratching the car window.
Last time I cleaned the car window film, the adhesive was a mess and it took several methods to get it right. My experience is to first heat the adhesive to soften it, such as using a hairdryer to blow on the adhesive residue for a few minutes. Once softened, use a plastic scraper to gently remove large pieces of adhesive. Then spray alcohol or a specialized adhesive remover on a cloth and wipe in circular motions until clean. Be careful not to use metal tools as they can easily scratch the glass. If the adhesive is stubborn, try a commercial adhesive remover spray, wait for 5 minutes after spraying, and then wipe. The whole process requires patience, and don’t forget to wear gloves to protect your skin. Additionally, the rear air conditioning ducts occasionally trap debris, which may affect the efficiency of adhesive removal, so I often clean them as well. Safety first to avoid scratching the glass. The entire adhesive removal process takes about 20 minutes, and all the tools can be found at home.
