Does this help break down the film also or just aid in the glue removal?

There's some window tint remover spray you can buy at advance auto parts. Spray it on, wipe the tint off with a rag..

tried wiping acetone on the tint with a rag...cant say that it helped. Gonna try the super duper Advanced Tint Remover next.
Methanol to remove tint...you have too much money!!

Edit.......I left the car closed up for while and it started to curl the first layer up

The chemicals are to break down the adhesive UNDER the film
