My daily has had a smashed window for quite a while and was taped up with a piece of plastic over it. Now that the window has been replaced there is a lot of sticky crap stuck to the paint around the window. What could be used to remove this without damaging the paint? |

if its the original paint safest to just use some metho, from memory metho doesn't remove acrylic, and should take the glue off from the tape |

Try Kero that doesn't damage paint work but seems to get sticky shit off car quite easy. |
