Window Chalk

**4x4Fink** · 11-07-2005, 06:25 PM

My oh so sweet, loving, beautiful girlfriend decided it would be funny to write stuff all over my windows with white window chalk. I let it sit for about 2 days because it was too cold to use a power wash bay and by the 3rd day I just bared the cold and blasted as much off as I could. Then I went back with Windex and got most of the stuff off, however there is still some residue left. What would be a good cleaner to get this stuff off with?

I don't mind how abrasive it is as its on the outside.

Thanks guys!

Fink

ya should be able to, all the schmucks/napas/wallmarts around here have it. Its an aerosal can, kinda weird but works real good.

try not to over think this.
Razor blade and windex does wonders on glass

**4x4Fink** · 11-07-2005, 07:30 PM

Every time I've used a razor I've gotten small surface scratches...they scare me now.

Thanks for the suggestion Geoff! I'll go look tomorrow.

CynicX · 11-10-2005, 03:55 PM

**4x4Fink** · 11-10-2005, 05:20 PM

Just got back from Wal-Mart and got some Stoner's Window Cleaner and a few sturdy rags...if all else fails, steel wool it is!

silly wabbit

**waskillywabbit** · 11-12-2005, 07:09 AM

I've seen an actual t-shirt that says "silly wabbit tits are for kids"

**4x4Fink** · 11-12-2005, 09:27 AM

I brought up the suggestion to her last night and she said that'd be fine if it wasn't so cold...I told her that was half the fun! It's a no go...but for now I tried Invisible Glass from Stoner's as Silver_Truck suggested, windows look darn near "invisible."

But the main problem wasn't that you could see the residue in normal condition, it was only when dirt particles hit the windows, they would get stuck to the residue and then you could see the lettering outlined in dirt...really a great look!

Thanks for the help guys, and the laughs,

Fink
