    Window cleaner, thinners, petrol, metho, turps, kero, 'goo remover' anything really, put some on a rag, and rub...

    If you use petrol or thinners or something strong smelling, spray some deoderant in the car afterwards, or let it air out for a bit,

    Prepsol on a rag works well. Or if its harder than it is sticky, then try a razor blade

    wax and grease remover. Otherwise a sharp blade out of your stanley knife is always good

    Just a warning to all - be very careful with Presol, Thinners, Metho etc - we have had a number of calls/emails from guys that have used these and accidentally got some on the dash or plastics, the solvents took the colour out of the plastic fading it from black to light grey in areas. Unfortunately this not correctable once the dye from the plastics has been removed...

    Also had a call from another guy that used thinners to take of his rego sticker, but the sticker was on a side window that had tint film on it! Obvious I know but tint film doesn't like harsh solvents either...
