Status: offline 		Hi guys,

I recently bought a used Maser 4200 Spyder.... it had a horrible tacky dealer sticker in the plastic rear window, which I removed however it left a lot of sticky mess... Does anyone have any suggestions on the best/easiest way to remove the sticky residue that has been left behind on the screen??? I don't want to scratch the screen and its an awkward place to work on to start with!

Any suggestions or products will be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks!! :)

Failing that, alcohol or lighter fluid?

I'd use alcohol as already recommended. White spirit can react with some plastics.
