i used 3M adhesive remover when taking a couple stickers off my car. just squirt it on the sticker, and let it soak in, and the old glue will come up real easy. after putting that on there, just scrape the stickers on the windshield with a razorblade. as for stckers on paint, you can use the same adhesive remover, but your gonna have to peel it off with your finger, or maybe a plastic razor blade. but the 3M stuff will make it a lot easier. good luck

I've always used a hair dryer to remove stickers. Heat up the sticker until it's pretty hot and then slowly pull it off as you apply heat to it. Usually all of the adhesive comes up with the sticker, but on really old stickers, some adhesive sometimes sticks to the paint. That's when you use the adhesive remover.
Or a cheaper alternative to the 3M adhesive remover is an air freshner called Ultra Citrus sold at the automotive dept at Wal-Fart. Works very well and fast, will not damage paint (just make sure to wash it off when your done), and leaves a fresh orange smell to boot. I think a small bottle costs less than a dollar. Im not sure how much the 3M stuff costs, but because it is from 3M I highly doubt it is less than a dollar.

A hairdryer or a heat gun, it'll heat the adhesive up and make it easier to get off then use goof off or whatever to clean the residue.

With the window you will probably have some residue. I have used products like Goof Off and they worked great. I took all of the badging of my trucks with it and I took the side molding off of my SS. I just peel the stickers or badges off, and try to get as much adhesive as possible. Then like said before, use the adhesive remover. Should be the same process with the window. Just make sure to use glass cleaner when you're done on the glass. And also remember that the adhesive remover will take off any wax that it touches.

Same here I just used a hair dryer to remove all the stickers off my car, I had several sets on there too. What I do is get a razor blad but dont scrape it off just us it to kind of pull it up. BE VERY CAREFUL. Ive never scrached the paint yet
