How to get stickers off of car windows?

Mayonnaise? Goo Gone?

They have been there for a couple of years, on the inside where the tinting is.

We're trying to sell the car and it might be a bit more appealing without the Clifford stickers all over

TIA!

We used De-Solv-It and a nylon scrubby to get bumper stickers off of our car when we got it. It still took some elbow grease but if you spray it and let it sit 5 min it was much easier.

If it is not on the tint itself.... use a razor blade and alcohol.

I changed window stickers on mu car every 6 months

Yeah Katie that's the problem, it is on the tint.

Think I'll have to get some Goo-Be-Gone and De-Solv-It and get busy.

Thanks everyone!

I would use a hair dryer, warm it up and then use a razor to peel it off. This works for bumper stickers and doensn't leave the messy residue....

and I need to do this too!

I use lighter fluid, like for a zippo. It takes most gummy stuff off anything ...you just need to do a small patch test first, but I have NEVER had a problem with it, but I have never tried it on tint either!

HTH~

Melinda, I have tried the blow dryer trick, works great! I would get off what you can that way, and then use the Goo-be-Gone type of products to finish it off. Good Luck!
