Default how to get shoewax off windows when one goes draggin'???

I live in Seattle, Washington and tomorrow is the Highschool Drags at Pacific Raceway (for the locals). Anyway, your 1/4 mile time is written on your window and I was wondering what is the best way to get that crap off quickly? TIA.

belt sander has shown good results...switch to the die grinder for small, troublesome spots.

Fine quality steel wool. That's what I use on windows for shoewax as well as overspray.

A good ol' razor blade should do the trick.

Or, you can try a credit card too.
