So I thought I should just add a thread so some people can add tips and try new ways to remove adhesive from car parts.
I'm sure that at some point in time we have all had either a bumper sticker or tint on our/friends windows where after you remove it the (film/sticky stuff) adhesive is still there. Well how do you remove it?
Personally I only know how to remove goo from glass. And all you need is glass cleaner, a razor blade, and a towel. Apply glass cleaner let it soak into the goo and scrape off with the razor, and wipe clean! YES it is that easy! I have never scratched up a window but it is tricky when you have defroster lines in the window. I just spray glass cleaner and wipe with a rag.
If anyone has tips to remove adhesive from glass paint plastic etc. please feel free to add to this. Maybe we can help prevent cars from looking like a nice piece of goo!! THANKS ALL!!

for glass, remove adhesive, clay bar, buff out, apply paint sealant/wax, and never have trouble removing adhesive again . Just make sure that you re-apply the wax every 3-4 months. For paint, I try goo gone but remove lightly, if you apply to much pressure you are just cramming crap into your paint. Otherwise I would say use a claybar and some quick detailer to get it off.

Mineral spirits works well for removing the adhesive film left after pulling window tint off of glass.
Kind of ramdom, but I figured I'd throw that out there.

Actually, there is a safer, yet a little more expensive way... About halfway down the page...mmm 7498 or mmm7499. www.tcpglobal.com/autobodydepot/adhremove.aspxI use this at work and home, and work great! It's just a simple rubber eraser wheel, that mount to a die grinder, cut off tool, angle grinder...that takes off any residue and or adhesive , then just wipe off eraser dust, and ur done! These work great, cause they don't damage paint like solvents will! ;D
