Re: How do I get the drag racing #'s outline off the windshield? You could also use a razor blade to get the numbers off intially. Also, windex gets off the chalk.

Re: How do I get the drag racing #'s outline off the windshield? NO RAZOR BLADE!!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> One small speck of anything and the glass will be scratched!
Try "Bar Keepers Freind" it is a powder and is supposed to be great for cleaning glass. I beleive you mix it with some water and wa la!

Re: How do I get the drag racing #'s outline off the windshield? I hear you Xsta Z, and you may be right. I've never had a problem with the blade, but it's probably not the best advise for some people <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />

Re: How do I get the drag racing #'s outline off the windshield? I would recommend some rubbing alcohol (really good at getting sap off, motor trend) and I personally have always used a razor on all glass without any problems at all, never heard of any problems before(scrape with a HUGE angle).

Re: How do I get the drag racing #'s outline off the windshield? I tried this after leaving the numbers on for 3 months! (dont ask why i left them for so long)..
I didnt want to use razor blades so I tried windex and newspaper.. it took it right off!
some tiny spots stayed on so I did repeated the same process with a little force and it came right off.. (like one of those magic commercials on TV)
I know ill be doing the same thing again next for sure. You should try that. Its for free (basically).

How do I get the drag racing #'s outline off the windshield? I left the numbers on the car for about a week, then washed them off and now whenever I go out to the car in the morning I can see the numbers and whenever it gets wet they are very visible. I need to get these off before I go to the dealership <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />

Re: How do I get the drag racing #'s outline off the windshield? simple green works great, gets it all off, then just go back with a clean paper towel that is wet & get the smear marks off. easy as can be, i tried it by chance after the #'s were on the window for about 2 weeks & it took it right off.

Re: How do I get the drag racing #'s outline off the windshield? I don't know if this is good or bad, but I used an old clay bar to pick up the stubborn remainders that windex and elbow grease didn't get or wouldn't get. Wished I had thought to do that sooner.
