How do you get sticky gel stuff off the window?


Question:My friend bought me these gel sticker things that go on the window. i kept them on the window for about a year and they kind of melted. now bugs die in them. i tried wiping them off with water and a paper towel, but it didn't work, now there is a smear on my window. (this is on the inside of my window) does anyone know how to get this stuff off? thanks

Answers:
Because they are made from long-chain hydrocarbons (plastics), you'll need short-chain hydrocarbons to disolve them before you can wipe them off.

Try WD-40 followed by windex. If that doesn't work, acetone (nail polish remover) will do it for sure. Don't forget ventilation!

Good Luck!


A good adhesive cleaner should do the trick.
If not, WD-40 can do it too. :)
By some straight edge razor blades like you use in science class. You can scrape the stuff off without messing up the window. Should only cost you a couple of dollars for a ten pack. I do it all the time to get stickers off of my car windows.
maybe try a razor blade and some windex (that got some stuff off my car windshield) or get some goo gone
wd-40
take a razor to them to get a good portion of the adhesive off. you may be able to get it all of with a razor blade, but if not then use something like goo gone or goof off, or a comparable adhesive remover to get rid of the rest.
