Remove a sticker from a window?

[flyinion]

I need some tips on how to get the residue from removing a sticker off my driver's side window. The sticker in question has already been removed, it was a "this product contains chemicals know to cause cancer" kind of sticker that they at least in Ca apparently put on cars now when new.

I remember years ago being told by my parents to "take this bottle of nail polish remover and get the rest of the sticker glue off" after we'd bought a new car but I'm not so sure that's the right thing to use. I was going to try out my Sprayway glass cleaner but wanted to get some tips in case that doesn't work.

FWIW the sticker has now been through 2 1/2 years of northern CA weather and the heat had caused it to start peeling when I rolled the window down. Don't know if that means it will be easier or harder to get the residue off.

Griot's Garage makes a pretty good adhesive remover. You might need multiple applications for stubborn goo, but the product works well.

Thanks, any idea if I can find that stuff at a local store somewhere? I'd like to do this tomorrow so it doesn't interfere with my window anymore.

You could use goo gone and a metal or plastic razor blade. Should be able to pick both of these things up at a local hardware store.

Scrape as much as you can with a razor blade then dampen a terrycloth towel with mineral spirits and wipe until the residue disappears...

Got any WD-40 around? Really, it will (in most cases) remove the leftover goo.

Discloser: I don't regularly use WD...Goof Off or the like IS my 'go to.'

with what everyone above said.

It can also help to add a little heat before you start even with just a hairdryer.

WD-40 or orange oil with plastic blades and paper towels to break-up and remove the adhesive, then IPA followed by DPS Krystal Vision to clean up the WD-40 and make your glass perfect.
