The 3M adhesive on the rain visor is difficult to remove. What can be used to clean it?

You can use essential balm to wipe it off, or alternatively use a heat gun or thinner for cleaning. Here is some related information: 1. Rain Visor: A rain visor refers to a car accessory that can be used both in rainy and sunny weather. It is a protruding rain guard made of synthetic resin or engineering plastic material located at the top edge of the car window. The rain visor effectively prevents rain or strong wind from directly blowing into the car, improving ventilation efficiency; it also helps prevent window fogging when driving in the rain with the window open. 2. Wiper: A wiper, also known as a windscreen wiper, is a device used to wipe away raindrops and dust attached to the vehicle's windshield, improving the driver's visibility and enhancing driving safety. Due to legal requirements, almost all cars everywhere are equipped with wipers. Rear windows of vehicles such as hatchbacks and SUVs are also equipped with wipers. Apart from cars, other means of transportation, such as trains and trams, are also equipped with wipers. Some engineering machinery, such as cranes, also have wipers.
I recently encountered this issue when I had to remove the rain guards installed on my car, and the 3M adhesive was really stubborn. I tried using isopropyl alcohol, soaking a cotton cloth with it and applying it to the adhesive for a few minutes to let it soften gradually, then gently scraping it off with a plastic scraper. The whole process took some time, but I managed to get it done in about half an hour. If the adhesive is too strong, you can use a heat gun or a hairdryer set to medium-low heat to warm it up, making it easier to remove when softened. Be sure not to use a metal scraper to avoid scratching the car paint. Additionally, I recommend spraying some automotive-specific cleaner on the glass after cleaning to prevent any residual adhesive marks. To prevent this from happening again in the future, remove the rain guards slowly or choose accessories with less adhesive strength.
