Best stuff I've found for removing glue residue is IPA (not the beer wink )

You have to be joking. You own a prestige car and have no idea how to remove the residue from a tax disc holder!!!

You should get your valeter to do it or you are an idiot.

I can't believe people here are taking this seriously and offering advice.

Forum reaching new lows.

And breathe

Well, not that obvious actually. White spirit or meths stinks, and I don't want that odour hanging around in my car. Therefore wanted to know if anyone had other suggestions that were not so odious (sic).

It's all about opinion. I think the forum reaches new lows when people take time to call others "Idiot" without care or concern.

In this case, my opinion.

Best regards

I take your 1 month contribution into consideration and agree I may have been ott

All that withstanding, this used to be a forum for what I consider weighty topics amongst the the banter. Perhaps wrongly, I thought how to remove a bit of glue a tad trivial.

Hey each to their own.

Mine was one of those that just adheres to the windscreen without glue. It is now in the glovebox.
