iwill give you enough film to tint them and a aplication kit , iwill have loads left over
ive over orderd,
only doing rear and side windows, fronts are already 20% tinted standard so theyre dark enough
Re: Window, tint film.
The best way to get it off is use a hair dryer to melt the glue on the back and use a razor blaze to scrape it off. Once its off use some glass cleaner to clean the glue off. hope that helps.

Re: Window, tint film.
if glass cleaner doesnt get the glue off then go and get some UPVC white frame cleaner ... this stuff will remove anything
i buy it from a local shop
