How to Remove Window Tint from a Car?

I just bought a used car w/ a really crappy tint (previous owner tried to remove the tint but i can see a lot of zig zag marks everywhere and some glue) I just want to remove the tint altogether w/out damaging the windows but I don't want to take it to any professional.

Has anyone done this before and can show me how?

please list the materials as well

(if you say razor blade, isnt that going to scratch the window?

or do you mean the razor blades made of plastic?)

Razor blades don't scratch the windows if you use them properly, like at an angle. The blade also must be CLEAN, otherwise you can and will scratch the window. But I recommend also using a glass cleaner to remove the adhesive. Take your time, it'll come out fine.

acetone, razor blade, elbow grease. use the razor blade like you are shaving, not like you are slashing your way thru a field of zombies. in lieu of acetone (like to avoid dripping on your plastic) you can use regular ol' windex. the razor won't hurt the window unless you use it to scratch the tint off.
Try a hair dryer or heat gun and have a razor blade handy. Then a good window cleaner to wipe up any residue.How to Remove Window Tint from a Car?
i'm a auto wholesaler and have to remove tint all the time. I just take a razor blade. get a little piece to stick up and then just pull it off.
I farm monkeys in my free time. My full time job is as a candle melter. (I just think that it's funny people put that in)....I would go with the above answer of a hair dryer, some 3M adhesive remover and a razor blade. Should get you going.
If you want to take hours use a razor blade and some chemicals or you can do it the easy way and use steam like the professionals do.
