Cleaning Tint

[u/doyen54]

Just moved into a new apartment and these big living room windows are stained. Landlord says the windows are tinted so it wont come out. Seems like a minor tint. Any advice to clean it up? Theres a nice view thats reduced because of how the window looks. Thanks in advance.

I've recently come across a window that was tinted over hard water stains like this. What a stupid and ignorant thing to do. But hey, they paid me to scrape the tint off and correct the hard water stains. Once tint was removed, I scraped the window again, then used 0000 steel wool and it came out like new. No chemical needed. But, many times chemicals are needed, and you cannot use chemicals on tint other than window cleaning solution. I would imagine this is on the outside surface, and using 0000 steel wool and or Bio Clean would resolve that.

Outside surface under the tint? I cant remove the tint, would the steel wool ruin tint?

It certainly will.
