What material(s) are the stickers made from?

When removing stickers from the inside of the car where an aftermarket tint was applied, I've used a combination of a plastic razor blade with rounded points and diluted (regular) Dawn solution combined with quite a lot of time taking it very slow, and first testing the solution/effect of the razor blade on a portion of the tinted window that is not highly visible, and then shining an extremely bright light on the area to make sure the razor blade is not scratching the tint. During colder periods, I have used a hairdryer on lower settings without ill effects - although on extremely hot days this arguably is not necessary. After doing this, I've always tried to be very particular about removing any residue given how prolonged contact with a wide range of chemicals seems to has the potential to discolor tints. Depending on the sticker, getting the sticker itself saturated with the solution seems to sometimes help.

The specific tint itself seems to play a significant role in how robust it is against scratching/discoloration/tearing.
