How to clean tape residue off windsheild

[pocket aces]

I have this windshield that has sticky tape residue from a for sale sign from the previous owner. How do I clean to safely. Thanks!

That can depend on whether it's acrylic (plexiglass) or polycarbonate (Lexan).  Hondaline are the latter.  Clearview the former.  Don't know on others. Anyway, I would try Goof Off - not the "Pro  Strength" (smells like MEK, comes in a yellow metal can) but the weaker, "Heavy Duty Remover" citrusy compound in a plastic pump spray bottle.  On a small area down near the bottom. Another product, also citrusy and not so aggresive, is Goo Gone Automotive.  I have all 3 bottles in the shop and don't use the Pro Strength stuff on any plastics.  These are in hardware stores, don't know where else.

Just take a soft rag and spray a little Ronseol lighter fluid on the rag and take the glue off then wash it with a wet rag with a drop of liquid hand soap

Vegetable oil works well for removing many types of glue residue. As with anything you use try in an inconspicuous spot first.

Plexus, great plastic cleaner. It's also a protectant and polish. 
It is available in most bike shops.

Might try a bit of WD-40 on a rag.  It's amazing what that stuff can melt with no residue!

  This method works!  And no damage to whatever you're cleaning.
