Dealer Window Plate Adhesive

[RuffRyder]

I got my permanent plates a few weeks back, but my back window still has some adhesive with yellow paper stuck to it from the temp new car plates. I know there are many chemicals to remove it, but I also came across a "plastic razor" to take it off.



My question is whether the plastic razor is better than using a chemical to break down the adhesive.

I believe the NJ ones have a water soluble adhesive...I found out the hard way on my friend's car a couple years ago...tried every solvent and nothing worked...until she suggested water



Last one I took off I did with glass cleaner and it was a bit of work, but it came off. Clogs up the MF.

I've heard that Poorboys pro polish with a terry towel works. I'd avoid the razor if you have tints, otherwise try it and see how it works.

Watch out for the heated rear window strips too if you are using any sort of scrapper.

i had the same problem a while ago. a few applications of goo gone with some scrubbing, then followed up with invisible glass. crystal clear :up

Sweet. I'll try the least abrasive (water, I would be highly impressed with the state of NJ if it was water soluble) and move on from there, from chemical to mechanical. So I guess I'd try water, then Goo Gone, then Pro Polish (all with terry's), then last the plastic blade. I'll update, just in case it can help anyone in the future.
