miko_supra Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Managed to peel off some sort of window tinting off of my car last week. Its left some of the adhesive of the glass, so has anyone got any tips on how to get this off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simbasupra Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 The methods listed in that website may not be strong enough for the job you require and may be best to use peter richards method. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermit Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 WD40's good at removing adhesive, but then you've got to clean off the WD40......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero-M Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 when i clean new glass units that i put in, i always get sticky marks from the labels, the best thing i found was a solvent cleaner for cleaning upvc. it works well then just glass cleaner to finish of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy W Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I use petrol and a razor blade. Works a charm on those 'Inappropriate Parking' stickers, could possibly do your job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathew Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 i took a giant very sticky sticker off my rear window not long after picking it up and used nail varnish remover on the residue that was left. worked really well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mattsupra Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 beleive it or not i found when i was removing window tints at my m8s tinting place that just warm water n a blade does the job more than well enough just use a spray gun or something similar then a flat blade against the window matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraJames Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Petrol and a rag usually removed any film/sticker left overs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmic Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Dont use petrol leaves an oily residue. Use your gf/wifes/mums nail polish remover, it contains acetone or replacement and will remove ANYTHING!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
