I bought a my car last August from a dealer and they had stickers on the windshield to “advertise”. Now when it rains I can see the residue from the stickers, and you can read from the inside of the car, what it says. I HATE it!
I haven’t tried anything too harsh to remove it, clay bar, Sonax window cleaner, and elbow grease.
What do I need to do to remove this residue??
