How do I remove the 2nd layer of window tint on my car rear window??

Hi,

So I bought a 98 Honda Civic and I'm trying to slowly fix it up and mod it. I was able to remove the tint on the side windows w/ no problem but the rear window seems to have the 1st layer of tint already removed. I researched some of the websites and they said it was pretty easy to remove as long as both layers of the tint were still intact with the ammonia/ trash bag method. My only problem is that I only have the 2nd layer left. Any ideas on how to painfully remove this or am I going to have to tough it out and do it with the razor blade method? I'm going to be careful with the defroster lines if this is the case.
I know I could take it to a shop but I don't want to pay them $100 bucks to remove the tint if I dont have to. Thanks

If the window has defrost lines in it your going to hate yourself for even trying it. You'll never get it off the window without pulling up the line no matter how careful you are. Window tint that has been on for any length of time to set up is like trying to peel fiberglass apart one layer at a time without screwing up the next layer.And if you plan on tinting the window in the future you will always see the glue left behind from this layer. Your best thing to do is replace the window. If you have glass coverage on it through your ins co go that route you'll be happier and less stressed..........I am sure that if you bring it someplace to have it removed your defroster still wont work.

Samsung Focus Windows Phone 7 Phone Review

Samsung Focus phone, with state-of-art Windows Phone 7 OS, a huge 4" Super-AMOLED display and photo enhanced function for better viewing, and ultrathin body for grasping. Now let's see Samsung Focus Windows Phone 7 Phone for more details.

1. Samsung Focus Windows Phone 7 phone—Body & Design

Samsung Focus cell phone is light and slim, with the dimension of 123 x 65 x 10 mm and weight of 115g, because of its plastic material. The streamlined body with ultrathin 9.9 mm thickness makes Samsung Focus glossy, elegant and grasp-friendly.

(1) Samsung Focus Cell Phone—Front

Samsung Focus cell phone offers 3 virtual keys (Return, Menu and Search) underneath a 4-inch huge touchscreen. The logos of "Samsung" and "AT&T" on the face, as well as "Windows Phone" on the rear indicate its identity—Samsung Focus is a cell phone with windows Phone 7 OS and is co-developed by Samsung and AT&T.

a. Samsung Focus—Screen

The selling point of Samsung Focus cell phone is its vivid Super-AMOLED capacitive touchscreen with 480x 800 high resolutions, which is ever applied to Samsung Galaxy series, bringing vivid viewing experience. Even in the open air, the image of screen is still vibrant.

b. Samsung Focus—Interface

The innovative interface of Windows Phone 7 OS breaks the stereotype, offering users different experience. Thanks to the WP7 OS, all the operation on Samsung Focus cell phone is smooth. It is worth mentioning that the screen switching and the speed of power on/off are faster and steadier than other phones. Samsung "Focus" focuses on every details, even the Samsung Hub and lock screen interface is also more authentic than that of HTC surround.

(2) Samsung Focus Cell Phone—Rear

Samsung Focus cell phone is glossy with engineering plastic material and the drawing processing in the rear, which greatly improves its quality. Distinguished V-lines in the rear of Samsung Focus makes it seem to have a third dimension.

In addition, you will also notice an AF 5MP camera with LED flashlight and a loudspeaker on the rear side. After removing the rear cover, you will find SIM and microSD card slots, together with a 1500 mAh battery like Samsung Galaxy S. Please don't remove the Micro SD card when it is in use, otherwise Samsung Focus will restore to factory reset. If you insert it again, everything will return to normal.

(3) Samsung Focus Cell Phone—Keys and Ports

Top: a 3.5mm headset jack and microUSB port

Right: The power key of Focus is present on the right, which is not the same as most others that are found on the top side. You will also find a shutter key on the side.

Left: a volume rocker with chrome accented trim

2. Samsung Focus Windows Phone 7 phone—Configuration

Samsung Focus Windows Phone 7 phone comes with 1GHz Snapdragon QSD 8250 processor, but the 256MB of RAM seems to be slightly smaller than other Windows Phone 7 phones (512MB). But according to the news, Samsung confirmed they will offer 512MB RAM in November.

In addition, Samsung Focus cell phone also supports a microSD expansion slot for up to 40GB memory, including 4GB internal). When it comes to connectivity, Samsung Focus supports a 3.5mm audio jack, Bluetooth 2.1, WiFi 802.11b/g/n, microUSB 2.0, A-GPS and more.

(1) Samsung Focus Cell Phone—Camera

Samsung Focus windows phone 7 phone is impressive in terms of color restoration and details, with an AF 5MP camera with LED flashlight, but you can't half press the shutter key to focus. Similar to HDR in iPhone, Samsung Focus adopts the WDR (wide dynamic range) technology, bringing a good performance on capturing still life photos. However, we are a bit disappointed with its 720P video recording effect with Low saturation and frame rate.

(2) Samsung Focus Cell Phone—Battery

Some people are likely to be worried a 1500mAh battery of Samsung Focus can't feed its electronic-guzzling functions, like those Sky Drive photo syncs. In the test, we find that Samsung Focus will keep on working for more than one day even on heavy days of calling, emailing, gaming and browsing. Focus will support about 2 days with moderate use. When it drops into 10%-15% of battery power, please remember to charge it ASAP.

(3) Samsung Focus Cell Phone—Speech Quality

Samsung Focus Windows phone 7 phone has a good speech quality in normal environment. Although it supports dynamic noise reduction chip, the performance is not satisfied in noise test. Besides, Samsung Focus has high volume with powerful loudspeaker, but it will cause volume distortion at the same time.

3. Samsung Focus Windows Phone 7 phone—Summary

Do you focus on this "Focus" phone? Samsung Focus Windows Phone 7 phone is your best bet, which left us a deep impression on its vibrant super-AMOLED display, innovative Windows Phone 7 OS, and smooth & steady performance. We really hope more functions, like Fast Application switchover, copy and paste, will be applied to Samsung Focus cell phone in the near future.
