The Independence Day of the United States is just around the corner and in the middle of a pandemic, the way to celebrate it will need to be cautious and with social distance. We have seen how, over the years, the allegorical parades have been a great partners in this celebration, so this year will not be the exception.
It is estimated that the automotive parades and caravans will be protagonists in the streets of the United States during this weekend.
One of the most common places to have a sticker or decal on a car is on its windshield and door windows. Sometimes, there are so many that people start to convert their windshield into a sticker collection.
Some people decide to implement this type of decor for Independence Day, but the same goes for sticky sports team merch, parking decal, oil change stickers, club memberships, etc. The hard time comes when you need to get that things off, then you confront a sticky situation, literally.
This is why, I present to you 5 easiest ways to remove stickers from your windshield.
1. Window cleaner detergent
You can spray window cleaner or similar glass cleaning solution on the sticker then, with a razor blade chip it away and pull the sticker up slowly. Repeat the process as needed until the sticker and residual adhesive is removed at its totally.
2. Rubbing alcohol (Denatured)
If you can’t get the sticker out after using a regular cleaner, you can try applying rubbing alcohol to the it and wait a few minutes before peeling away from the glass. You can use a razor if necessary.
3. Nail Polish Remover
Nail polish remover is great only for glass. Use it the same way you would rubbing alcohol, dab some on a cotton ball, apply it on the sticker, let it sit for a few minutes and then rub off the sticker and the adhesive remains.
4. Peanut Butter
Believe it or not, this is a great way to remove stickiness from your windshield. Use a spatula to cover the sticker residue on your window with peanut butter, let it sit on the glass until the residue has a chance to soften, then wipe it off with a clean rag and clean the area with window cleaner and remove any adhesive remains.
5. Goo Gone
Spray some on your sticker, wait a little bit and then you should have no problem removing the it. This product main purpose is removing stickers and adhesive residues, so you can be sure this is a great way to go.
One good question: Is it safe to use a razor blade on a car window? Yes, if you know how to use it properly. Just make sure the blade is clean and, then use it at an angle. Do not use a razor on any other part of the car. It is normal that the stickers doesn’t come off in the first try, in these occasions, just add a little bit more of the cleaner product, let it sit for a little, and try to remove it again and repeat this process all the necessary.
