My car has plastic crap all over the windows.

My car window is peeling. It's like a very thin film of plastic is coming off of the rear window and side windows. The only way i've managed to take it off is by scratching it off. Any suggestions on what this is?

Yeah, it is either a clear uv film, or just some cheap *** tint that faded so badly the color completely faded out of it.

For the rollups, just get something like glass cleaning and some razor blades with a scraper to make it easier. Only takes like 5 minutes per window to clean off the film and all the glue.

Backglass you will either have to use a wallpaper steamer to get it off, or wait until it is summer and hot and just sweat the film off the backglass, which I am too fucked right now to explain but PM me if you want the details on sweating window tint.

No, but if I do it, it involves you paying me 75-100 dollars an hour to get it off.
