Most Efficient Adhesive Removal - Suggestions Please

[SignDesignLady]

My crew is on a job currently removing cast vinyl graphics on the windows of a restaurant we installed 3 years ago. All the vinyl is off but the adhesive left behind is a mess. They are using Rapid Tac Rapid Remover, then once the adhesive is wiped up coming over that with Windex, then lastly with alcohol. I received a request from my guys to ask you all if you had a better method to do this.

Use Sprayway glass cleaner, HomeDepot, spay over adhesive and razor blade off. Use a rag to get adhesive off blade and work down glass. Use the Sprayway to clean off any remaining adhesive.

+1 for the razor blade scraper. It's tedious sure, but vinyl removal is inherently a pita - not too many shortcuts, just a lot of elbow grease.

Razor blade and rapid remover. Glass is easy.
