I finally hit on a solution.

1/ Nick an unobtrusive point and start slowly tearing it off. The
stuff is very old and tears, so this must be done often.
2/ Of course the film comes off, but the adhesive remains.
3/ Acquire mineral turps (not kero) and blend in about 10% oil-soluble
detergent.
4/ Using lots of absorbent toilet paper apply this mix to the surface
and rub it in. This results in a thick agglomeration of adhesive,
detergent and turps. Smoking is not advised during this part.
5/ Wipe all off with lots of wet/damp paper towel.
That's it. I have survived to tell thee!

Or just use a sharp scraper like the one I linked to and remove it
cleanly in half an hour like I suggested.

No. The sharp scraper merely nicked the surface to start the tearing
off. The adhesive stayed behind after the film was removed.

Some people feel that its necessary to reinvent the wheel and by doing
so manage to turn a 10 minute job into a days work, must be bored or
have nothing better to do.

Well, he could have done a *Darren* and bullshitted about his automotive
achievements. But he didn't. Instead he got a discussion going. It may
come as a shock to you but discussions are the purpose and role of
discussion forums.

So why are you here. All you do is whinge about Noddy not being
qualified. Real discussion gets changed into a negative discord with
disparaging remarks about the veracity of his qualifications or
abilities. Quite frankly anything you write is not fit to be used toilet
paper.

I have never seen anyone who is so fixated on something that barely
anyone else gives a damn about. Get over it.

As you have rightly said forums are about discussions. You are not
having a discussion you are having an obsession. FFS you're supposed to
be an educated man. Grow up.

I see. So you don't mind about all the *repeated* lies that Gibbens has
told, the mindless and baseless abuse he's heaped on those who dare to
disagree with him, and the truly monstrous hypocrisies that he routinely
churns out, it's someone telling a truth about the wretched louse that gets
your dander up. I think you need to recalibrate Gumps.

On a more interesting OT subject... I finally succumbed and bought (leased)
Photoshop a couple of weeks back. Jaysus there's a lot of it. It has more
of a learning cliff than a curve. But soooo powerful. I'll never trust
another photo again.

So, you now *concede* that Darren has no automotive qualifications to speak
of, eh?

FWIW, Darren’s long-standing claims of multiple apprenticeships, multiple
trade qualifications, et al are an affront to *all tradespeople* who, like
me, worked for and *earned* their qualifications legitimately. Darren made
those self aggrandising claims in order to give himself legitimacy and
relevance in an automotive forum where, FFS, there is no such requirement.
He couldn’t make it in the trade, in the real world, so he sought out a
pulpit from which to preach here in aus.cars, his past post count makes
that much self evident. Your hero Darren is a fraud and a faker and *you*
need to get over that. You’ve been worshipping at the pulpit of Darren for
far too long, it’s time you got over it. Like a stack of cards, Darren’s
temple has collapsed leaving you and his other acolytes with egg on your
faces.

At least Jonz had the balls to admit he never completed his apprenticeship
when Darren pressured him. Jonz at least *qualified* to enter into an
apprenticeship, Darren never did even that much. Darren, when he was at
Richmond secondary tech school, had an option - study hard an qualify for
an apprenticeship. After all, that was the primary focus of tech schools
back then. What did Darren do? He *squibbed*, he ran away from the chance
to have a career in automotive and it’s been eating away at him ever since.

Recalibrate? Even a *hard reset* wouldn’t be sufficient.

He's just a troll. There is no window tint. He's invented the entire
scenario so he can "ask" for help and then tell everyone who offers it
that they're wrong.

Indeed. He's not all there in the head, and he's demonstrated *many*
times that he is absolutely *clueless* when it comes to anything
automotive, making your question a very apt one.

> I have never seen anyone who is so fixated on something that barely

I don't think _anyone_ else gives a damn, do they? :) Jerky plays along
with it because it gives him something to scream about, but then you
have to wonder about anyone who sides with a person who he investigated
for his bullshit and led him up the garden path once before which
resulted in a grovelling apology :)

Felix? Well, what can you say about Felix other than him being too
stupid to do anything other than be a pathetic sycophant? His little "me
too's" always remind me of Chester in the "Chester and Spike" cartoon :)

> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UVNHcob3oJg

And Alvey? There's nothing to say about Alvey really other than him
being all on his own in his completely retarded little world. He is
*clearly* the most irrelevant person in this group which doesn't paint
much of a picture of his life if he has to be here to occupy that role
every day.

The FLC in a nutshell. A small bunch of keyboard warrior losers who have
nothing better to do with their lives other than to pander to their
miserable insecurities.

Monty Python couldn't write shit this funny :)

He's not capable. He's at the limit of his intellect right now, and to
do anything rational is quite beyond him.

Which couldn't be a more fitting role for such a contemptible piece of
shit really ....

the biggest loser in this group is you.. a person who lies about his
achievements seeking to gain status in the automotive field, a fraud and
a faker, who criticizes others while hiding behind a killfile. and you
talk of others being insecure, lol!

Poor Fraudster.

It doesn't matter how many opinions you sling about Gibbens, *** EVERYONE
*** knows that you are a liar, fraud and hypocrite and, as such, your
opinions are worth the same as your vain-glorious claims. Nothing.

At least he asks questions direct. *You* set up a sock puppet to ask
questions so *you* can answer them, all just to feel relevant in a car
newsgroup. Best you keep your yap shut on this score Darren!

Says the irrelevant clown who pumped out 1000 posts a month in this
newsgroup and who had to *fake* his relevance by inventing trade
qualifications he doesn’t possess. Boy, you are truly the poster child for

He seems to assume that because he and the rest of the FLCJC lack a
moral compass and a sense of common decency that most people are like
him/them. I'd like to think most decent people would care.

Blah blah blah. You're a proven morally vacuous abusive fake and a
compulsive liar with credibility lower than that of dogshit stuck to a
shoe.

Your opinion counts for naught son.

Look at the "qualities" of the enablers in team FLCJC... if they were
decent people they would be profoundly ashamed of themselves.

yeah, I said years ago that noddy's problem (one of them) is that he
judges others by himself, which means that he thinks others (everyone
else) have his same (low) standards and mentality. applies to his
enablers now too, as you say.

A fact of modern high megapixel sensor cameras is that there are
generally a few pixels that are hotspots in long exposure photos.
Basically you have to use a program such as Photoshop to remove them.

I shoot in Raw which allows a fair bit of manipulation of the image.
It's a lot different to shooting with film then processing in chemicals.
You could make images stand out by the length of time you exposed the
paper as well as how long you processed them with the chemicals.

Now all that is done in photoshop or other editing programs and you can
get some amazing results.

I don't use photoshop personally as I don't like it. I use a program
designed for Phase One cameras...

The problem was the old adhesive, it stuck to the glass and was opaque
too. A steamer might have worked but only if the heat made the
adhesive stick to the film and not the glass.
