Hi guys, anyone know how to solve the ghosting patch when you clean a window that previously had a sticker on it?

Removed a sticker a month ago with a scraper, come back to clean it and and can still see the patch as a “ghost effect”

Hope that makes sense.

Cheers lads

 
A bit of nail varnish remover (acetone) on a rag and rub it off.

It's just residue from the glue.

 
PVC solvent like the window fitters use works well you can go over the frames with it it’s designed to desolve the grime and stuff on the surface provided you dint leave a rag on the sills it will be fine it will soak into labels with in seconds then just pull them off the glass wipe over it and it’s gone in seconds

The problem is the windy fitters don't seem to use it before they leave. That's why we have to do it. ?
