Is it the stuff that coats the glass or is it the stuff that etches it?

Whew ! You are lucky....
Not to sound stupid or obvious, but what does the manufacturer of the product say about removal?

Well, It said something about being able to remove it with some chemical (maybe turpentine/paint thinner) for up to 8 hours after the initial spray. After that, I'm not sure because I didn't read the entire thing since I wasn't planning on removing it anyway. It's the same metallic stuff I put on my rear tire cover. It's just metal flake stuff mixed with a clear coat. It dried overnight so I didn't even think about taking it off until I saw it in daylight. It looks OK but I don't like the look as much as I thought I would and would rather just use some high-gloss wax on the windows. I'm pretty sure a razor blade will take the stuff of, just like most anything stuck to a window, I hope. If not, I can always re-coat it until it's even. Windows are generally easy to get things off of with a blade I have found, but I never tried anything like this before.

Here is a link to the stuff:

It doesn't say anything about paint, but I'll still look for it. I have the aerosol GooGone which I use and that stuff is great, but I would trust 3M a little more. That's what I used to take those damn warning labels off the visors that nobody believes can be done

Well, I went and bought myself a scraper blade this morning since mine went lost long ago. That should help.
Hmmmm. Speaking of scrapers...........

Well, I was able to scrape it all off with a razor blade. It took all of ten minutes. I washed the goop off, cleaned it, put some wax on it, and it's as good as new. So much for that little idea I don't think I ever realized just how dark my windows are tinted. I wonder if they have different levels of tint depending upon what region they are sold. I cleaned all the windows last night when I got home and even in the sun, they are REALLY dark, so no need to tint them any darker. I guess I just never really paid much attention to it.
