For the sticky residue left by the stickers you can use Zippo lighter fluid or goo gone, as far as the rest of the windshield try wiping it down with Isopropyl Alcohol and a good waffle towel. |

Try the Ultimate Cloth. http://a.co/d/3khkxjx
This is superior to any "microfiber cloth" on glass. I use them on my windows, but mostly for my eye glasses. You need to get the cloth wet, then wring the hell out of it to get as much water out as possible. It will remove whatever is on the glass. You may try to use it with a bit of lighter fluid if straight water doesn't work.

Try WD40. Seems to work on most goo.

Tar-X works for everything and I don't smell like my zippo lighter when I am done.

Windex and a razor usually works on any sticker residue.

A trick I use to take off sticker crud is using plastic wrap to encase the crud in goo gone.
So you basically get some plastic wrap that you use in the kitchen, some painter's tape and goo gone. Use the plastic wrap and tape to make a pocket around the crud with the top edge open. Shoot the goo gone into the top edge so it fills the pocket then seal that edge with tape. Let it sit for an hour, then pull it off and wipe it off. All you're basically doing is letting the goo gone soak into the crud to loosen it off rather than letting the goo gone evaporate away. Same thing as when you soak a pot in dish soap before you scrub it.

I use razor blades and glass cleaner. You just have to keep at it. You can try glass polish with a glass polishing disk on a drill or a dual action polisher, but I usually use the polish after I have gotten the glue residue off.

Quick & easy try Mr. Clean Magic Eraser pad (both outside and inside window useful).
I also have glass polish liquid with a white polish pad for my Flex D/A that I use every fall and spring to remove all the grime and prep the glass.

Because it's a solvent! I use Kerosene all over the car, yes even the paint. I've done many car shows and would admire the paint on some of these cars and what did they use to clean them...Kerosene! Great for removing sticker residue and tar and before a clay bar. I clean the area afterwards before applying another product.
