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).

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.

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.

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 .
