I recently had my front windscreen replaced, and there is some glue residue or likes of it around a few edges. I tried to clean them using Citrus APC 1:4, but it didnt go away.

Shall I clean them using my Riccardo's Medium Clay Bar, or NANOSKIN AutoScrub pad Medium grade, or is something else more appropriate for this job?

The glue has dried up, as the the job was done last weekend.

Thanks in advance.

I'd take it back to the installer. If not doable, you can use a single edge razor.

A razor blade is the best way. You can buy one on handle at the dollar store. Just be careful to have the blade flat on the glass and it will take it off without damage very easily.

Sure, it seems it can be easily fixed and then washed out. Thnaks. Must try it

I did this exactly, and it took care of everything. Works similar to clay, only more aggressive.

My windscreen is all good again.

I want to add if you do use a razor blade make sure it is a Stainless Steel razor. Carbon blades or anything other than stainless steal can etch the glass. Even a stainless steel blade can etch so be sure to use something as a lubricant on the glass along with the blade.

Seeing that you recommend using a lubricant,
no matter which type of razor blade is selected...

Then...If I was the OP:
I'd go with the razor blade that
has the least expensive outlay.

Thanks mate.

I used my APC spray before the "surgery" to clean the surface using a mf, and then using a little spritz of the same, I cleaned the windscreen using the blade.
It really came out easily.
