Adhesive from the car's ETC can be removed using an eraser. Here is some information about car ETC: 1. ETC Concept: ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, which is an automatic tolling system for highways or bridges. It uses a vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield to communicate with microwave antennas at toll station ETC lanes via dedicated short-range communication. This system processes payments through computer networking technology with banks, allowing vehicles to pass through highway or bridge toll stations without stopping to pay fees. 2. ETC Applicability: ETC is particularly suitable for use on highways or in busy bridge and tunnel environments. Currently, there are dedicated ETC toll lanes at highway toll stations.
After removing my old ETC, the adhesive residue was really annoying and took me quite a while to deal with. The most common method is to spray alcohol on the leftover glue, wait a few minutes for it to soften, then gently scrape it off with a soft cloth or the edge of a credit card. Avoid using metal tools as they might scratch the glass or paint. After cleaning, wipe the area with soapy water to prevent any alcohol marks. This method works well for regular car owners—I keep a small bottle of alcohol in my car for emergencies, and it didn’t damage my car’s film. Remember to test a small area first to check for reactions. If the glue is too stubborn, just repeat the process a few times—take it slow and steady.
