    How do you all remove these terrible things, have few on the windscreen and they're like glue.
    Newish car to me, can't stand the things lol, do my own servicing etc anyway. I've got most off but finding it very hard remove the remaining residue.

    Gently with a Stanley scraper and use white spirit on a rag to remove any residue.

    Peel off the sticker and then use a Tar and Glue remover to remove any residue, an abrasive glass polish might also be needed and make sure to clean the glass after.

    +1, 5 min job with a bit of tar glue remover on a microfiber, followed by glass cleaner should be the job.

    I use the cheapest Tesco wet wipes for glue residue, and afterwards clean the glass the normal way too.

    I got sticker removal fluid in either the Co-Op or Homestore and more. It was very effectifice but had a very strong solvent smell which lingered for ages. Not ideal for the inside of a car.
