So you carefully remove the old reg. stickers from your nice windshield and now you're left with the remaining "goo"....what are all of you using to safely remove that without damaging the windshield?
Your ideas and thoughts are most appreciated! :thumbsup:

Use the wifes hair dryer and heat it up. Also use some GOO GONE. Get the Goo Gone at Wally World (WALMART).

Me Too. Goo gone is excelent.

goo gone is the best. if not, a little nail polish remover or gasoline but clean the solvents off with warm soapy water immediately after sticker removal.

wd40 works but 3-m has a product called sticker and adhesive remover in a red and white can ,you can pick up at automotive paint supply places .it works insanely fast

Ok, I'll give the Goo Gone a try....and the next time I'm @ the paint shop for stuff for the race car I'll look up the remover by 3-m as their products are generally always great.

Thanks for the advice gang, you all kick a%# in my book! :thumbsup:

Another excellent product is Acrysol by Kent Automotive. It can be found at the auto paint supply places. A friend got some through one of his suppliers and it stripped the adhesive off immediately. I haven't found it in Canada yet, his can came from the US.

Nith,
Now that you mention it, I have heard of that....I will investigate that as well....thanks! :thumbsup:

i have had bad experiences with GOO GONE .it will dull the finish expecially plastic

i always use WD40 OR LIGHTER FLUID on my vending machines to remove decals and marker .

and heating the decal with a heat gun or blow dryer works good also .

another vote for 3M. Works great.

w00t Can't have that!

(I'll give the WD a try first) :wink:

try useing amonia, available as sudsy amonia at the grocery store. dab it on and cover with saran wrap, let it sit a few minutes then scrape with fingernail. never tried it on snowmobile windshields though.but if it doesent hurt saran wrap then....

WD-40. Everyone always has some. :thumbsup:

I always wondered how you get that crap off thats left behind by unwanted stickers...alot of good advice!!...Cool!

I used WD-40 to get the "goo" loose, then used lighter fluid to clean things up....
Applied 2 coats of wax and wa-la! :thumbsup:

Thanks for the info. gang!

My new to me ride is all shined up and ready to go ~~ whenever Ma' nature removes her head from her anal orifice.... :wink:

NOW IF YOU WANT TO SHINE ER UP USE PLEDGE GREAT FOR THE WINSHIELD AND COWL. :thumbsup:

I&#39;ve always used ether sold as starting fluid.
Just spray it on a paper towel and it dissolves the glue instantly.
Wipe up the glue as best as you can.
Then repeat 1 or 2 times maximum and you&#39;ll never know there was even a sticker there.
Leaves a nice clean surface and doesn&#39;t scratch the plastic or paint.
I&#39;ve been using it on sleds that we&#39;ve had for as long as 8 years and it doesn&#39;t affect the shine at all.

And then you can use the either to knock someone unconcious to kindnap them too :whistling:
If the need should ever arise. But yeah all the above mentioned methods will take off sticker goo.

Good one! :lmao:

A little trick I learned from an old timer is to use peanut butter. Let it sit for a bit and it softens up the goo and wipes right off without damaging the finish.

I like Mineral Spirits but thats just me! No need to comment! :wink:

That would depend on whether you use smooth or crunchy. :lmao:
