I read this some where, never tried it but ammonia does break the tint down, ever seen cars with purplish tint, thats because it was cleaned with an ammonia based window clearer(windex) too much. If you don't want to bag the windows, I'm sure if you just spay it on the window and keep it saturated enough it will eventually break it down.

Ok, ok, the tint master is here. :P
To take tint off, get an edge up, and pull the actual film off, leaving the glue on the window (sometimes it's clear, but you can feel it)
Once the actual film is removed, get a spray bottle and fill it with water. When it's full, pour about a shot out of it, and put dish soap in it. Spray it on the window, and with a NEW flat razorblade, start scraping. If you don't use new razorblades, it will own your fucken window. Use a new razorblade on everything window. Start at the top, and scrap all the glue down. When you think you have all the glue off, clean everything and do it another 27 times, because you're blind.
On the back window, get an edge up, and peel. Once you have all the film off, you could use amonia, but it's better if you didn't if you haven't done it before. You'll probably just make a big mess and make your car smell like ----.
Ok, once you have the film off, you can't scrape it because you'll take the defroster lines off (You can scrape around them if your careful). Spray the window with the same soapy water, and use FINE steel wool pads to scrub the glue off. If you use anything more than FINE, you'll scratch the window. Once you think you got it all off, yep...you're blind.
The amonia helps to soften the glue, but won't make it just slide off. The fine steel wool pads (home depot) are a must.
All that other ---- mentioned will just make your car smell like ----. The dish soap will make your car smell like clean dishes. And nail polish remover will destroy your interior if it even touches it.
