  • Removing Numbers from the Drag Strip

    I've scrubbed the **** out of my window trying to remove the numbers that were put on it at the strip.. but i can't get the last of them off. I've been using windex, what else can i try to remove these numbers without scratching anything


    The numbers are on the rear window towards the front:

        or sticker decals.. ;) Don't know what kind of shoe polish they used.. but it looks potent. Super Clean will take care of that. Spray it on a rag first then wipe. Get some nice custom numbers made or get the package of letters/numbers from an auto parts store for the next outing. [img]smile.gif[/img]

          rubbing alcohol, and a papertowel something that is somewhat course helps.


          Also a do-it-yourself carwash with pressure washing is good too.

              You let it hit the sun the next day and its really a ***** to remove.


              Honetly if any of you go to the track often do not use it. get magnets. my old car my glass ended up getting all scratched up, and I had little white flakes in my weatherstripping all over.

                  be careful getting it near the weatherstripping might break down the glue.

                    I've been known to leave the numbers on my car for 2 weeks sometimes. Always comes right off with some Windex.

                    Yeah, that works pretty good. I've had to do that a couple times to get parking decal glue off.

                        Before you use a razor blade like everyone said and scratch the $hit out of you're window, buy Goo Gone it's not too expensive it should remove that, also removes severe bug stains and tree sap/tar.
                        Good luck with that. [img]smile.gif[/img]

                          you hold the razor blade almost flat. it doesnt scratch the window at all. try rubbing alcohol if you dont wonna use a razor blade. but i would just use a razor blade

                            i've been scrubbing thehell out of it with windex and i removed the numebrs on the front of my car completly, but the back one won't come all the way off. I will try dabbing rubbing alcohol on a rag and using that, if that doesn't work i will move onto the razor blade.. thanks for the help

                              I detailed for a year, razor blade and windex will take off anything on your window
