I want to get the side glass of my ute retinted.
I'm on Brisbane northside.
Any recommendations who to use?

I've used the RACQ Auto @ Lawnton with success

While on window tinting. How do you get the bloody stuff off?
I have another 92 200TDI Disco here for a spare that drives well but the tinting is buggered. Dark tint peeling. The plastic comes off but not the rest. While waiting for your reply perhaps someone has ideas how to remove it.

No hesitation in recommending Empire Window Tinting & Vinyl Graphics in North Lakes (https://www.empiretint.com.au/)

I used Tint A Car Recliffe, in High St just down from MR Mechanical. Did a good job on my D3.

I used TintMart at Strathpine - pretty good. It comes down to the tinting product they use - I've always tried to use 3M metal or carbon as they block the most heat. Depending on how old your car is UV prtection is alredy build in to the glass.

Spray with WD40.... let soak a bit then lift edge and peel

Grab a heat gun - about 150deg and a plastic (not metal) scraper

I use cloudy ammonia to get the residual sticky stuff off.
