Cool Original Window Tint

We recently purchased a 2016 Class A Jayco Precept. My husband wants to remove some hard water spots on the windows. However he's not sure if the tinting is on the outside of the window and doesn't want to scratch the tint if it is. Does anyone know if the tinting is on the inside or outside of the windows?

I believe its actually in the glass itself, meaning its not a fil, but a color of glass. I could be wrong, but I know I have used 0000 steel wool (non-scratching) on my windows and it has not hurt the glass or the tint. I used that to clean the surface of the glass when I installed my magnashade magnets. That should take off any hard water spots for sure.

I agree that it should be in the glass itself. IIRC, the windows are actually "automotive" glass all around. So the tint should be in the color of the glass.

You could always find a corner in an inconspicuous place and take a really close look. I seriously doubt there will be a film on the surface of the glass. At least not from the factory.

I intend to tint the glass in my motorhome. For the "house" windows, I'll use a residential grade tint film applied to the inside of the glass. For the cab & windsheild, I'll use a tint installer, and he'll likely install a film to the inside of the cab windows and windshield (clear on the windshield, but will have a UV blocker).

Should be no film tint unless a previous owner added some to darken it.
