The best is Turtle Wax Extra Strength label and decal remover, it does not leave a film on anything after use.
This stuff for sure. Have used it on paint, glass, chrome...works great on all of them without damaging. Trick is to spray it on, let it sit 30 seconds to a min, and remove. Works awesome. (And smells like oranges.)

Ok, figured it out. I have to say they did an awesome job, but the previous owner tinted the window. So no have to get it removed but only $20 for all the cars my tint guy has done for me.

Rubbing alcohol. It wont work with just one wipe, you have to wipe it like you are sanding it down. It’ll take a minute but it definitely works.

Thanks for all the replies. Why anyone would tint a front windshield is new to me because stickers etc that require a razor to remove can get put on there depending on your state, but to each their own, but in my truck it will be removed shortly.

i had a 90% ceramic film applied to my windshied on my first truck. it was specifically for heat rejection only. basically at 90% it was invisible. didnt block any light, reduced glare and kept a lot of heat out of the truck. some people put a strip across the top windshield. thats a popular add on. acts as a sun visor

Razor blade WITH a lubricant is your best bet. Lube with glass cleaner. Use acute angle with the razor blade. Good luck.

Exactly....! BUT...unless you seriously know what your doing,DONT Put a Razor Blade to ANY Glass.
I owned a large Window Cleaning Business for 32 years and can say I've seen 10's of thousands of $$ in damage from people trying to use a razor blade on glass.Todays glass is way more complicated that the old stuff with coatings,tempered,etc...they have written books on the subject.BUT if you must use,as Wheelman said....WITH LUBRICANT...and you might do OK...WITHOUT...I can almost guarantee when the sun shines,you will see all the scratches..

Ricoman...good advice! I worked as a window washer through college and learned to use the right tools for the glass. Even with that going for me, in recent years I did manage to scrape the he!! out of the side view mirror in my ‘93 F250 using the razor:)
