I have lots of tape residue on my windows and some of my chrome. Can you guys tell me what I can spray on it to help remove it?

It may smear and be heck to clean off, but you might try Armor All... it works to get sticky stuff off glass around the house, dunno why it wouldn't work on a car.

laquer thinner works great on chrome and glass.

Justin makes a great point. WD40 should pull that out. Now, if you really wanted to get down and dirty, you can even use Clay-bar, even though that is the more expensive route.

Good luck, and let us know how it went.

safety razor on the OUTSIDE of the glass only. Goo Gone for the rest.

Paint thinner and WD40 work. Use pain thinner to get residue off and WD40 to get off the foggy view the paint thinner leaves on the windows.
