Old Tint Removal in Hawthorne
Purple, bubbling, peeling or just too dark? We remove old film and every bit of adhesive — carefully, without damaging the rear defroster.
Signs your tint needs to go
- It turned purple — cheap dyed film breaks down in the sun.
- Bubbles — the adhesive is failing.
- Peeling edges — film lifting at the top or corners.
- Too dark — a ticket, a fix-it notice or just hard to see at night.
- New car, old tint — you bought a used car and want a clean start.
How we remove it
We use steam and heat to soften the old film and adhesive, peel it off, then clean the remaining glue off the glass. On the back window we work slowly and carefully around the defroster lines so they keep working.
The price is set when we see the car, because it depends on how bad the old tint is. A newer film often comes off in one piece, while old, baked-on tint that breaks into small pieces takes more work.
Remove & re-tint: special deal
Want fresh tint after the old film comes off? Remove and re-tint with us in the same visit and you get special terms you'll definitely like. Most customers do both in one visit and drive away with fresh ceramic or carbon film the same day. Ask about the deal when you text us.
