I installed new windows about two years ago and they came with a protective plastic film . Over a period of time I forgot to remove this film and it has become baked on with the sun. I have tried almost everything to remove it but with no success. Any ideas anyone ?

Just try a bit on a piece of old cloth, in an area that wont be noticed. PS...don't smoke or have any naked flames around you.

You could also try nail polish remover.

I`ve just tried the petrol with a hard plasttic brush and it seems to be the best cure so far but very tedious ! Thank you all for your ideas ! (Only another 12 windows to go ! )
