Car: 1992 Rs Engine: 305 TBI Transmission: 5-Speed Axle/Gears: 3.08 | Re: White Streaks on glass that wont come off? Try to take some brake Cleaner to it. It should cut right through it. It seems that its old glue and may still be on there. I removed the tint on my rear hatch about 3 weeks ago and there was glue everywhere and a friend of mine let me in on a hint how to remove the glue(he used to work at a tint shop). Which was the brake cleaner. Cut Straight through it when sprayed on and taken off with a rag. Go get a can of it from walmart-autozone-etc. Try that first I think its only 1-2$ a can it works Really well. Surprised the hell out of me. |
