Default Window Tint removal?

Has anyone ever tried this? I just purchased my vette. It has dark tint, which I know is illegal in Wisconsin. How do I get this stuff off?

tried on one car if it's good tint, take it and pay
to have it done easier to bitch about the $$ that get so mad as to want to bust the glass to get it off

I just pulled mine off my Blazer window and used a 3M green pad and soap to wash off the adhesive (in the dark).

I now have wonderful dancing swirl marks when I drive at night to keep me comany.

Default sure

soapy water anand a razor blade.... the soapy water softens up the adhesive so it's not that bad to scrape off........ should only take 10 minutes per window if there is alot of isht on it
