Hi guys, sorry for the noobie Q but thats what I am.
Been reading up on some cool tuts you guys make and got a question I hope to god someone can answer.
I removed decals from a car using the nail polish remover technique, I had a couple on the windows, when I used the NP remover on the window, it goes foggy... what can I use to remove decals from plastic windows without stuffing the window? I use non acetone NP remover as stated in the tut.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Easy, Wet sand (800, then work your way up) them off, Then compound and use some sctach X. Then polish. Should look pretty good, but im not to sure, never tried.

Blue Magic Polish, available at most larger auto parts stores, will polish off the tampos safely from windows... - Mark

do not use nail polish remover.
if its just a decal then you can soak it in hot water until it can be slide off the surface.
