Default GooGone...

Well I decided to remove the old 14 year old purple tint off my rear window on my hatch and there was left over sticky substance... I decided to spray googone then try rubbing away but obviously that made matters worse. Other than standing there for hours useing a razor blade trying to scrape inbetween the defrost lines, does anyone have any comments on what I can do to faster remove and clean my back window? I was thinking of taking it off and taking it to the car wash with the high pressure rinse lol. But the googone is like syrup.. gets very sticky and clinges to the window.

I use 3M adhesive remover. Be forewarned though, your call will smell like **** for atleast 3-4days.

ive got this stuff called De-Solv-It, and it will get almost ANYTHING off that is sticky, i use it all the time. im sure it will work on your window. and do me a favor, get the window retinted with some good tint. i cant stand faded purple tint

Oops or Goof Off is a better solovant than Goo Gone.

I work at an Ace hardware, I get to play with these things when its slow.

I used a dull razor blade and Goo Gone/Windex on my rear window and went right over the defroster with no problems. It still works great.

I used to tint windows. the safest thing that will not stink is soapy water and a SOS pad. Works good.

When I use the razor blade the defrost lines actually stop the blade from going over it so I am worried I will mess up the defrost lines.

So I can use Oops or Goof Off to remove the Googone that I have already sprayed on the window? Because the googone has been sitting on my rear window for 2 days now lol I cant wipe it off as the directions say and dont want to spend hours standing there scraping in between the defrost lines with a razor blade
