Sticker residue removal
Finally got round to taking some stickers of my rear window, but has left some residue.
Any tips for removing this?

Normally just window cleaner and a bit of elbow grease does the job...
but ofcourse theres some residue that needs wd40

Always used wd40 or petrol. Dont see the point in buying a product when youve got equally good products sitting in the garage.
Wd40 can also be used as a polish (wouldn't personally recommend that) rubber feed, rubber softener, defrosting spray, anal lube and loads more. Ultimate man spray.

Can't believe nobody has said Nail polish remover... That shit removes all the glue from stickers.

Tesco value window cleaner (like "own-brand windowlene") - it's lethal stuff.
