How to Remove Car Sticker from Glass

For those who drive, changing the vehicle's road tax sticker is part of the responsibility of using the vehicle. When it comes to doing so, there is always the icky situation of removing the old road tax sticker in order to paste the new one. Often, the old sticker just splits into many pieces, and we are left with many splinter pieces still stuck on the windscreen. Worse, there often is glue residue where the sticker has  been peeled off.

How do you get a slick new glass surface?

Here's how: Get the following ingredients

• small bottle of methanol spirit
• cotton

Steps

1. First, ensure all of the old road tax sticker is removed. Using the blunt rounded edge of the keyring (metal ring attached to your vehicle keys) seem to work well for me. This requires rubbing the remaining sticker vigorously with the round metal edge of the keyring. Windscreen is hardy enough to withstand scratches.
2. Dab the cotton with some methanol spirit. Vigorously rub the methanol-soaked part of the cotton on the glue residue. The glue residue should come off quickly.
3. Allow the methanol spirit to evaporate off the glass. You'll be left with a clean glass surface, ready for the new road sticker.
