Default silicon spray'd got onto my windows..what to use to clean it off?
front windows were making noise when moving up and down... so used a little silicon spray to smooth it out, but accidentally sprayed too much. Now my windows look like crap. HELP!!!

Most solvents will clean away silicone. Wal-Mart sells 3M adhesive remover, that should do it.

Default 3M adhesive remover is great stuff...
A friend of mine had some hardened sap spots on his hood from parking under a tree. The adhesive remover dissolved the sap without much effort at all.

It should, you'll have to clean it with window cleaner afterwards.
