Shoe Polish
 

My dad bought a new truck that had shoe polish numbers on the plastic windows. We can't get the shoe polish off with regular cleaning agents and I wondered if any of you had any ideas that wouldn't ruin the windows.

Thanks,
Bob

Bob, a razor blade will work well. When I was racing my street car several years ago, I had coated all the windows with Rain-X. Works great for keeping the windows clear in a rainstorm, but not so good for car numbers and dial-ins. I scraped the area with a razor blade to put the car number, class and dial-ins on, and it worked fine with no damage.

My mother bought a car last year that had paint on the windows, it was acrylic paint. She got the paint off rubbing alcohol.

Hope this will help.

try buffing it out.

Yes, isoprophyl rubbing alcohol literally melts shoe polish off, sometimes with just a little extra rubbing. But a razor blade is a good option also.

If you or someone you know runs methanol,put some on a clean rag and wipe the numbers off.comes off real easy

I wouldn't use a razor blade on plastic windows..... rub the area with some plastic polish, like from Meguiar's....http://www.meguiars.com/ ....look under "products" under "CLear plastic care". This stuff works really good.

Oops! I missed the "plastic" windows part.

But the isoprophyl alcohol worked fine when I had a bracket Challenger with lexan. Just don't rub too hard. Let the alcohol do most of the work.
