Gday all.

About removing windscreen goo....

I need something strong because the sealant is hard and well stuck...

I obviously dont want to affect the paint, rubber, glass and interior if a splash goes here and there....

What does everyone recommend is the best? ....a wax and grease remover like Acetone? Prepsol? or Turps etc?

Thanks
Dorzy

Don't use Acetone, way too powerful.

If its acrylic then turps or prepsol, if its 2k then both of those and a bit of thinners carefully for the stubborn bits.

because its hard you will need to use a razor to take the top off then you can finish off with the prepsol.

btw prepsol is just a trade name for wax and grease remover for anyone interested
