Re: Cleaning windows 2May 16, 2011 12:32 pm Try eucalyptus oil - it's pretty good at removing most stuff and harmless.

Re: Cleaning windows 3May 18, 2011 1:07 pm Cheers Mclaren Got a bottle today. One question: will I need to windex the glass afterwards? As in, will the oil make it greasy?

It works, fullstop. If the glue is old or super strong, may need to re-apply it (leave on for about 1 hour to be safe).
