nope,
it's safe to use.

i've peeled plenty of stickers with it.
actually I prefer goof off, as it's a big stronger.

if you really go crazy w/ it, then you might want to polish the surface once
your done, but it's not that big of a deal.

its safe, even on plastic like your window visors and such. theres a new goo-gone that smells like oranges. i suggest you use that.

You guys are ******* brave, goof off is some strong ****. I set a rag with some on there on a cd sitting on my desk by accident and realized what I did 5 minutes later, it had already eaten a hole straight through it.

are you talking about this goo gone?

i dont see how that **** could eat through a rag, ive let it sit on my paint before for 10+ minutes and all it did was break up the glue.

to the op: its perfectly safe on paint, just make sure to get all of it off, then wash that spot off and then wax the area

He is talking about "goof off."

Goo gone is pretty safe. I've used it on my car numerous times with no problem.

Razor blade.

Take one of those fat wide razor blades, and scrape them off... It won't cut your glass or anything so long as you dont GOUGE the blade into it. Super easy to do

pretty sure you can gouge too...glass is harder than steel

be careful if the stickers are inside though, cuz you'll razor off the defrost lines...ask me how i know

I would buy a heat guy from harbor freight to heat the glue under the stickers up so that you dont accidentally scratch your windows with the razorblade.

Yep, they make plastic blades if you are that concerned about it. I
have sold Hondas for 11 years and have used a razor blade to remove every window sticker in that time and I can vouch I have never seen a blade scratch the glass. Ever.

yea same here, used razors alll the time to take stickers off glass.. you must be retarded if you scratch the glass if your holding the blade flat just hold it flat against the glass, dont push harder then you need to, real simple, but if your really concerned, then there are plastic razorblades like someone already said

Instead of a razorblade use a hairdryer to get old stickers off. Much easier
