rotary Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Bought a new car. The dealer installed Hi-Kool car window film. About each 1 ft there is the Hi-Kool logo on all windows. Does this wash off the film??? A Friend told me it fades out over time....is that correct. I must have 20 logos on my film...ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaicbr Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 go back to the dealer or in fact any shop that does film. 10 minutes later they will have cleaned it off(white spirit solution). From experience does not fade off well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sometime Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Nail polish remover works at getting it off. I tried to get a little glue off my window with nail polish remover and it dissolved the window tint film Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tywais Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I tried to get a little glue off my window with nail polish remover and it dissolved the window tint film I would very hesitant to use nail polish remover as it contains acetone. Some auto forums indicate rubbing alcohol works. Just hope the logo is not towards the glass side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeong Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I only use a pencil rubber to remove 3M logo, not sure if it work for Hi-Kool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MegaRanter Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Check your glove compartment for any tube, it comes with film pack. If none is found you will get it at the nearest good car wash.It would never go out on its own, I once gave it 3 years , Lamina was still staring at me.

Gippy Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 The dealer probably told you how long to wait before you can get it removed. In our case it was the same 7 days that they told us not to open the windows for. After the 7 days you take the car back to the dealer and they remove the logos for you in about 2 minutes.

Under NO circumstances use nail polish remover, as at best it will smear the film and at worst dissolve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash999 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 You should have received a little bottle of liquid. Use cotton balls with the liquid to get rid of the logos- don't use anything stronger like alcohol or nail polish as it can damage the film itself. Better yet, have the garage who installed it take off the logos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junkofdavid2 Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I only noticed two 3M logos, not bothersome nor noticeable unless you really look hard, and I'll keep it for when I sell the car; to prove to the next owner that the film is 3M high-end and not some flimsy Thai brand.

Or a pan-scourer, as one numb-nuts at a car wash attempted when asked to remove the old glue from the tax sticker before we fitted the new one. Luckily I saw him heading for the window with it, and only my disbelief he was even going to attempt such a flaming fool move caused the resulting damage! I've always used lighter fluid to get that glue off, why can't they use the non-glue 'lick & stick' ones preferred in the UK? Oh ay, too easily stolen, silly me...

tilac2 Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Petrol will remove Hi-Kool car window film logos. Get 2 gallons of it. Slosh it all over your window film. Set light to it. Run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
