removing tints.decals...

i bought the cf hood off the carbon creations show car and it has a carbon creations decal.. it seems like theres also a thin thin metalatic sticker too... how can i take this off? if i take it off witll i risk peeling the clear coat or such and end up haveing the decal placement shown after its taken off?

also my sister has tints on her rear windows.. is ther a specific way to take them off? my cousin used a razor but her rear defroster doesnt work as well... is there a way to prevent this?

thanks

I doubt the sticker will peel the clear coat off your hood. Just may have to clean some goop off after.

As for removing the rear windshield tints, I assume it is a single-piece, you must spray ammonia and then use a razor only at an edge to peel it. Unless the tint is damaged and baked in heat for a long time, the tint shouldn't have to be scraped. Scraping may damage the defroster lines.

Try a hair dryer on the sticker first to warm up the adhesive. I've found for most decals/sticker removal this works well. Then just clean off the excess goo. Should be fine.

cf hood = hairdryer (not too hot and from a diatance), so it wont melt the clear coat. when the sticker is warm, peel it with your finger.

tint on rear screen = get a pro window tinter to do it.... so it demister wont be damaged
