The methods to remove adhesive tape from car windows are: 1. Use a cotton swab to apply vinegar on the adhesive tape. After the vinegar blends with the tape, wipe it clean with a cloth; 2. Apply essential balm on the adhesive tape and scrape it off with a knife; 3. Evenly apply alcohol on the adhesive tape. Once the tape is softened by the alcohol, wipe it off; 4. Spray a specialized thermal cleaning agent on the adhesive tape. It will melt in a short time, and then wipe it clean with a cloth. The maintenance methods for car windows are: 1. Use automotive-specific glass cleaner; 2. Apply high-quality sun film to the car windows; 3. Purchase glass insurance; 4. Regularly clean dirt from the car windows; 5. Cover the front windshield with something when parking outdoors in winter.
Last time I had a coupon sticker on my rear car window, and after peeling it off, there was an ugly adhesive residue left behind. I used a hairdryer on low heat to slowly warm up the sticker area, which softened the adhesive, and then carefully lifted a corner with a scraper and peeled it off slowly. If there was any remaining adhesive, I used an old cloth dipped in a bit of vegetable oil (like olive oil) to gently wipe and dissolve the residue, then rinsed and dried the glass. The whole process requires patience to avoid scratching the glass with sharp tools, and it's best to do it in a shaded area to prevent water spots. Later, when choosing stickers, you can opt for easy-peel types or spray some lubricant before applying them to reduce hassle. This method is both convenient and effective—I've used it several times for similar issues, and the car paint remains unaffected.
