What are the methods for removing adhesive from car windows?

You can use vinegar or an eraser. There are four methods for removing ice in winter: 1. Physical de-icing: Prepare a hard plastic scraper or a specialized glass frost scraper, which is more convenient, faster, and keeps your hands from freezing. When there is snow or ice on the glass, use the plastic scraper or glass frost scraper to remove it. 2. Chemical de-icing: Use a spray de-icer, a high-speed anti-ice spray concentrate specifically designed to thaw frozen car windows and wipers without damaging the car's surface. It also prevents re-freezing and keeps the surface clean. 3. Maintain consistent temperature inside and outside the car: After using the car, do not lock it immediately. Instead, open the doors for ventilation until the interior temperature matches the exterior temperature. Then, turn on the power and use the wipers to clear snow and water from the windshield. 4. Use a windshield cover: It can withstand temperatures as low as -40 degrees Celsius, with dual-sided anti-frost and anti-snow protection, maintaining the car's front windshield and extending the lifespan of the wipers.
In the past, I often helped friends remove glue residue from car windows. Simply put, first soak a cloth in warm water and place it on the glue for a few minutes to soften it. Then, use a plastic card like a bank card to carefully scrape off the surface layer. Next, use alcohol or essential balm to wipe away the remaining glue stains—they can dissolve the adhesive without damaging the glass. Alcohol evaporates quickly but works well. If the glue is stubborn, buy a professional adhesive remover, spray it on, let it sit for five minutes, and then wipe it clean. Never use a blade or metal tool, as they can easily scratch the glass and impair driving visibility. After cleaning, use a car glass cleaner for a final wipe to ensure it's clean and shiny. Prevention is key—choose the right spot when applying labels and use low-residue tape to minimize issues. I've used this method for years—it's safe and hassle-free.
