Default Cleaning help

I have just finished painting my first r/c body for a nitro fusion. However, I used the window masks (sticker type) that came with the body and when I peeled them off after paint had dried, they left sticker residue. I have found NO way to clean that off and make the windows clear and not smudged. Any suggestions? I have tried windex and 409.

WD-40
or
3M Tar, Wax, & Adhesive Remover

Both of these work very well for removing glue residue. HOWEVER, I don't know how it will affect the lexan, so use it at your own risk! I've used them both on glass windows, automotive paint, etc, but never on lexan. It might cloud it up so if you have a scrap piece of lexan lying around, test it first.

Thanks, I have extra "practice" bodies laying around so I will test it on one of those.

So denatured alcohol takes off adhesive?

I'm still new into RC and I've just started using denatured alcohol. What else do you guys use it for?

I use it to clean rc nitro vehicles,remove overspray from bodies without protective film and to remove adhesive. It does not cloud the lexan.

Use Gu-Gone.That stuff will take anything sticky off of anything and not harm it.
