I don't put stickers on my car, I let my wife do it. I will screw it up, doesn't matter what I try.

You can use a straight edge razor blade to clean up the sticker. Slice the wrinkle and overlap the edges. On the bubbles, make a slit and push out the air with your finger.

Good luck

The cleanest my car windows ever were was right before I had them tinted about 13 years ago. I have since removed the tint.

The guy used Dawn or Palmolive dishwashing liquid diluted in a spray bottle but the key was that he wiped the windows with crumpled Newspaper. Yes I said Newspaper. My god the windows sparkled. He also did the best tint job I have ever seen. It never once bubbled. The only reason I got rid of it was because I had to replace both the drivers and passenger windows.

you know, my grandmother always had me clean glass with newspaper, and everyone always thinks I'm weird. But it's always worked for me. No lint, and plentiful.

Clean, white newspaper is best, the printed-on stuff can leave ink on your windows!

Newspapers and vinegar work the best. One whole end of my mom's house was glass and that was the only way we would clean it.

my mother-in-law said she used to go to the newsprint guys, and they would give her a large roll of blank newsprint that was too small for them to use on the next run. She would pay $2, and they would give her $2 back when she brought back the cardboard tube. She still has a bunch left, I need to start using it. Thanks for the tip.

oh, and I always got ink on my hands but I never noticed it on the glass...but I wouldn't doubt it could happen
