  • Clean sticker gunk off windscreen

    Hi there.

    What is the best way of removing the residue left after removing the Fuel Consumption sticker on the inside of my Tig? I'd hoped the adhesive would come off with the sticker but it didn't

    Also, and recommendations for the ongoing cleaning of the inside of the windscreen?

    Thanks in advance.

    Microfibre Cloth, Glass Cleaner (Spray), and a stanley Knife Blade.

    1: Spray residule adhesive mess with Glass Cleaner
    2: Whilst moist, rub blade to take off the muck (does not scratch glass)
    3: Wipe clean with a Microfibre Cloth (I use the Green Glass Cleaner ones)

      And just to add to that, don't keep wiping with the same part of the cloth. halve it up a few times to make it a small cushiony pad and keep switching the faces so it stays nice and clean for a much better end result

          +1. Bonus is it smells good.

          Regular clean I use Windex (the clear one) on the inside, and Rain X on the outside except the front windscreen (personal preference as it sometimes get on the wiper blades and then it repels itself and smears the water rather than sheeting it away in my experience).

            Inside windows: 'No Smear Glass Cleaner' by Meguairs - best stuff ever. And it smells awesome...I used to use windex but found out it contains ammonia: not good for tinted windows!

            Outside windows: More Meguairs - i just like using it cos it smells good ha!

            Rain-X is excellent but does sometimes leave a haze for a second after the wipers run over it. I discovered Rain-X Anti-Fog the other day though; it's brilliant! A friend uses it on the inside of his dirt bike goggles, not sure about it on tints but the front shouldn't be tinted anyway...No more fog! Not that my car ever gets fogged up *sad sigh*...
