Default How do I?

Heres the story
About a two weeks ago I got my windshield bashed by a drunk retard. I had my windshield installed that same day. What happen was the guy that installed my windshield put masking tape on my windshield to hold it. It was getting really hot in NY hitting above 90's.
Anyways it ended up leaving a mark on the car. The tape's glue melted on to the car. How do i take it off? is there any space wax or something that will make it come off. i tired using a sponge but it didnt work.
any idea's?

heres how my windshield was before

Couple of different things you can use. There are rubber wheels that attach to your drill for removing tape and other sticky stuff from cars. You can also try some rubbing compound. If you are unsure, you can always take it to your local bodyshop for a professional job.

If that doesn't work, when my winshield was replaced, the guy used some sort of chemical to remove the nasty calking stuff that ran over onto the glass and headliner...may want to call the glass company

Goo Gone is made for removing tape residue.

Goo Gone ? Just about any grocery, drug store, hardware, etc. It's not an "auto specific" product.

another question that Goo from the tape dried up will the goo gone still work? or just use the blow dryer to heat it up again and use the goo gone? cause that thing is like dried up like crazy since the weather just colder in NY

goooo gone.. it will still work. you'll be fine.. just be easy on your paint. not too much pressure.. let the goo gone work into it.. but don't leave it on the car for extended preiods of time. Do it in the shade as well. also make sure that you wash the area afterwards, and re wax the area.
