How do you remove sticker residue from car glass?
I just bought a used car, and the only thing I need to fix on it is removing the stickers the previous owners left on the windows. What’s the best way to remove stickers from windows?

Sounds like you found a great new-to-you car if all you need to fix are stickers! Removing the stickers from the windows is easy. Start by grabbing:
- Bucket
- Warm water
- Dishwashing liquid
- Cloth
- Plastic scraper
Now that you have the supplies, follow these steps:
- Before you do anything else, try and remove the sticker as much as you can with your hands.
- Take the bucket and fill it with warm water and some dishwashing soap.
- Using a cloth, thoroughly mix the water and soap in the bucket.
- Now, take the wet cloth and soak the adhesive and the area around it.
- You’re going to want to do this for a few minutes, allowing the water and soap to soak into the remains of the adhesive.
- When you’re satisfied with the level of wetness, use either a plastic scraper or your fingers to work off the remaining adhesive.
- If you don’t get it all, repeat the process.
- Once you remove all the adhesive, take a dry towel and pat the area to avoid streaks.
