Ok I own my own detailing business and what I detail most are doctors vehicles from the medical center where I work. Anyways yesterday I cleaned a lady's white tahoe and after i got it washed i noticed this white crap all over the windows and the black trim around the windows. So I called her and asked her what it was and she said her nephew sprayed silly string all over her truck and shes had no luck getting it off. She told me not to worry about it but if i could get it off she would give me 200 bucks. Well I couldnt get it off but I told her I would try to come up with something and try again.

So do you guys have any ideas? I tried everything i knew to do. Tried a razor blade (on the windows not the paint of course). I thought about trying some acetone/lighter fluid but i didnt know if that would harm the tint on the window (factory privacy glass), I have used lighter fluid for paint transfer a few times where someone hit another car or something but not on glass.

So what's your suggestions? Any help is appreciated!

goo gone FTW I'd say clay bar but if you tried a razor blade and it didnt work I doubt the clay bar will

Lol the wd40 thing made me laugh. Reminds me of my uncle whos fix for everything either involves wd40 or duct tape.

I will try both of those things...hopefully they work i could use the 200 bucks lol

how about Mother's Back to Black on the trim? maybe try one of those headlight polish kits on the windows, or use a buffer with fine compound.

dont worry about the windows.. you cant harm them, they are stained and its on the inside of the window..
