Removing Liquid Paper from Glass

[macaroni]

Hey guys,

New to the Toyota scene, just bought myself a 91 Celica SX and I wanna remove the FOR SALE sign that's written in liquid paper on my window. How do you go about doing that? I've tried sponge and water and it's completely ineffective. I don't want to use a razor blade because I got a feeling I'll scratch the window.

HELP!

Thanks in advance.

Methylated spirits, Petrol, degreaser. Just put a little on a rag and wipe it off.

Start off with metho, petrol will leave an oily film; that's if it doesn't damage anything.

Nothing wrong with using a blade. Works a treat.

I though the dealer should take them off before give to you...well, try all the above method and you should be fine.

You can buy really thin razors, i took a sticker off my car that was pretty much glued on with one. Worked great with no scratches

Just keep the blade as flat as possible against the glass with even pressure and you will be fine. Hard to do damage unless you slip and hit the paint.

I second this. As flat to the glass as possible and dont put your other hand in the way.

Also, a new unused razor will give you the best result becasue it wouldnt have any defects that could scratch the glass.

O'Brians do this all the time to windows that they fix using resin.

Make sure the the whole razor stays flat on the glass, dont be tempted to use the corner to get the liquid paper off quicker.

Also make sure the windows are wet before using the blade...

Acetone (get it from the paint section of your auto store of choice).

Just DON'T get it on your bodywork whatever you do. It evaporates in no time so it shouldn't be too difficult.

make sure you use a "new stainless steel" razor blade. Other blades will scratch the glass.
