Just tried doing a search but found nothing....I have some stickers on my window I want to get rid of. Which is the best way? Warm water and then try to peel them off by hand? Just want to know how that can be done.Thanks!

if they are on the windows themselves, just use a flat edged razor blade.

you shouldn't. that's what most professionals use and i've never had an issue on any car or building. used to have to take down competitors stickers and put up ours. had a "gloat board" of all the places i took their stickers from, and where. lol.

I use lighter fluid. Let it soak and it eats and dissolves gum and then dries by evaporation. Act quickly after a couple of minutes. No damage in my experience. I use it for store stickers and price tags. And no, do not light the fluid or smoke near it.

If you use a razor blade it will help if you use windex or soapy water. This makes it slick and lessens the chance of the blade scratching. Soak it real good. It also loosens the glue of the sticker.
