I have my own method for cleaning glue off car windows. I remember the sticky residue left after removing a car decal last time was quite annoying. First, I tried soaking a cloth in hot water and soap, then placing it over the glue for a few minutes to soften it before gently wiping away the softened part. If the glue is very sticky, I spray some medical alcohol, wait a few seconds, and then wipe it off—it works even better. Never use a metal blade or hard object to scrape, as it can scratch the glass. I’ve also tried a dedicated automotive adhesive remover—just spray it on, and it’s simpler to use. Afterwards, make sure to wash off any residue to keep the glass clean. Parking in the shade to avoid direct sunlight can help prevent the glue from hardening and becoming harder to clean. Be patient and take your time—safety first.
