Hi Vince

You've got a hell of a job there only way I can think of is to carefully peel the plastic off then clean with a non abbrasive cleaner like Flash.  But warn the customer it'll cost them a bomb!

Tell your customer to get back to the installers, who should have taken this stuff off before they left - ask them to come back and refurbish the windows.

Then again, if they've signed the job off and paid, they deserve what they've got . . .?

Why don't you contact the installers for advice, Vince? Going by the style of frame, there's a chance that you'll find the manufacturers name, and date of the job, on the inside part of the frame, between the two sheets of glass.

Have fun!

Oh, and how's the back? Or should I not ask?

I've heard that lighter fluid will dissolve some glues that are used on labels etc.

Warning! Do Not use when smoking!

Acetone.
Use plastic gloves-it'll dry your skin out.
Respirator, well thats the H&S of it.
Goggles.

pete, for cleaning white plastic/gutters etc i use a chemical called power clean by carousel chemicals and this is very good. for cleaning jobs like the window you might need something stronger i use something called oil.flo 141 which is a safety solvent cleaner by titan chemicals i think i actually bought it from the window cleaning centre. it is very good for removing solvents,glue tar etc but only use old rags as you will have to ditch them afterwards, hope this helps , steve
