Default Removal of gel stickers from glass




White spirit first preferably odourless. Then washing up liquid.. Never
use gel stickers again... They melt in hot weather...

Swarfega works better than anything for removing recalcitrant stickers
from most smooth surfaces. It pongs a bit but with a gel formulation you
can apply and leave for a while then scrape it all off.

Quick rinse and polish and you are done.

Not yet, but I will. I'll ask for permission to attempt to remove them
again later :-)
