if youve got a clothes steamer or one of those general house cleaner steamer thingo's that usually works.

if you started with using the steamer you wouldnt have had the glue problem, the tints would've come off without the glue staying on the glass. so use the steamer and a razor.

I was going to say Metho and get scrubbing!

Straight Metho too, no diluting.

I have also used paint stripper to remove adhesive off glass, but I don't think that is a good idea to use in your car.

It is very corrosive and you need to hose it off.

You could apply a little bit of paint stripper and get a bucket of water and a wet a cloth and wipe if off...

Just be careful not to get the paint stripper anywhere on the interior of the car and yourself.

OK - if you're dissatisfied with the methylated spirits...

Plan B:- I used to work in pharmacy.

And some detailers used to come in and buy pure acetone to clean glass back to its pristine state.

Acetone is the main ingredient in nail polish remover - but without the oil.

Pathology labs use acetone to clean glass slides for microscopy.

To test-clean, use a bit of your Mum's nail polish remover on a small patch of the rear windscreen and if it's effective, go to the chemist and get 100ml of the pure stuff. Keep the windows open whilst using it.

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      By Rezz · Posted

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini 1/8 scale BNR32 Nissan Skyline GT-R Nismo

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
