    hi, when my i bought my car the garage who i had bought it from had painted
    it with some kind of washable paint on the windows to advertise it.
    Obviously they washed the paint off on all four of my windows but im yet
    to find something to get it off completely. Whenever there is condensation
    on my windows or they are wet you can still see the writing. Although this
    is not major problem i would prefer it if it was gone!Any suggestions of
    what to use to get it off??

    A safety razor blade if there is any actual residue on the window.

    Metholyted spirits from any chemists shop (or nail polish remover) if its a
    chemical trace left on the window.

    Should work!

    Nail Varnish Remover.

    Do NOT get it on the paintwork - It's as good as paint stripper!!! - You
    have been warned.

    Try vinegar - it's an acid - should work and shouldn't be too hard on
    your paintwork if you spill it.

    painted
    Or you could try moaning to the garage that sold it to you - giving them
    grief about it and their 'poor' cars until they clean it off to your
    satisfaction.....
