Shoe polish

xtremelyslo · 06-20-2007, 08:16 PM

What can I use to take Shoe polish off of my window other than a razor blade? I would rather use a chemical than risk scratching the window.

window cleaner and razor blade,it will take spray paint off so im sure it will work with shoe polish

I was trying to stay away from the razor blade idea....

razor blade wont scratch your window unless your pressing down too hard. the glass cleaner more or less lubricates the razor and glides it across your window without too much damage. i use it on mine atleast once every 2 weeks to make sure they stay crispy clean 8-)

use a real fine steel wool.

you won't scratch it with a blade. just dont press down. let it glide to remove the polish or go get some xylene. but don't get it on the paint cause it will mess it up

why is their shoe polish on your window? Sorry, I have to ask, I can't figure out how someone gets shoe polish on their pickup windows.

it was probaly used for writing something instead of window paint....most likely that white stuff that comes out of a bottle with a sponge on the end

at work we just do the windex with a razor just keep it wet and i've never scratched a customer's windows. just make sure the razor is new and not dull as hell and it should just go right over the stuff and you don't even have to do much work
