Shoe Polish...WTF

[Croft]

Not sure if this is where this goes......

What the hell is the easiest way to get shoe polish off the damn car? I got it off after some good ole fashion elbow grease, BUT there has to be an easier way!

how did it get there?

 

[jeostang]

I spray a paper towel with Goo Gone, or Goof Off what ever its called. I also used gas on a paper towel to get it off. I normally wipe it off before leaving the track so it doesn't bake on the windshield.

Definitely got some Goo Gone. I will have to try that next time......thanks Joe!

 

[Croft]

how did it get there?

From the track.

+1... I'd never put that shit on my car.

Do yourself a favor and buy some Geddex. You can easily wipe it off with anything, even your hand or a Kleenex. I have several bottles and I never ever let the track officials use their stuff on my windows.

 

[Croft]

Thanks Don! I'm a newbie, so forgive me.

 

[don_w]

You are forgiven... now go order some Geddex!

 

[Croft]

Roger that!

A single edge razor blade, a couple of swipes, and its gone.

Stoener Invisible Glass makes quick work of it.

Have to use a grinder on the stuff my local track uses...

LOL... must be the same stuff I've seen here, too.

Geddex FTMFW!

 

[Croft]

My question is, why the hell do they even use shoe polish if it is such a PIA to get off. I would think most tracks would just invest in the Geddex.

 

[StangMahn]

they're cheap, and probably dont know any better...some tracks dont even use the stuff

Jeezus... that would suck to have to go that far to remove it.

try steel wool. you can get a big bag off 0000 super fine steel wool for maybe $1.50 at walmart or any hardware store. it will take it off dry so you dont have to wash your car and wont scratch your glass.
