Old celotape marks on windows

[Julie_374400031]

Hi, I have just purchased a caravan. The seller had adverts celotaped to the windows advertising it. In the sun they have baked on and on removal left several marks on the window. Any ideas what I can use to remove the marks?

nail varnish remover removes most things ,just try it on a bit of the window in a corner to make sure it doesnt mark the window.

Hi Julie

Whatever you do DON'T use nail varnish remover on your caravan windows.

The windows in caravans nowadays are acrylic and I'm pretty sure that nail varnish remover contains acetone which will damage your windows.

Wilkinsons sell a product which is called Sticky Stuff Remover which is safe and will remove tape residue.

WD40 on a cloth is good for removing sellotape sticky residue, but make sure you wash the window immediately after using it to avoid any long term detrimental effects

Mr Sheen is also good for removing labelling residue.

Whatever you eventually use don't use paper kitchen towel to apply it as the wood fibres in it scratch the acrylic. use a lint free cotton like car polishing stockinet.

Hi Julie, I had the same problem with our van when we bought it last year. I bought some Ecover cream cleanser from Asda, it says it is non scratch on the bottle,and it did the job perfectly. Hope this helps, Carole.
