Why Shouldn’t I Use Shoe Polish On Car Window?

Shoe polish is easily available and is found in almost everyone’s home so shoe polish is very popular for writing on car windows. But we all know that shoe polish is not made for use in car windows.

So when you use shoe polish on a car window, you may encounter some problems. As shoe polish will get stuck in your car windows, it will take a lot of time to clean the car windows. Moreover, there is a possibility of damage to the car window while removing the shoe polish.

The longer the shoe polish stays in the car window, the harder it is to remove. Since shoe polish is not a versatile polish, it may not be the best choice for car windows.

There are currently several products on the market for writing on car windows, here are some of the best products. These products are completely safe to use in car windows.

Writing on car windows with this marker is very easy and can be easily removed. This marker also has water-based and non-toxic benefits. This marker is often used by event organizers to mark cars or write something on cars. If you do not want to use shoe polish, you can use this marker.

Using Solid Markers

Sakura Solidified Paint Solid Marker is the ideal product for you if you want to write in detail on the front and rear glass of the car and keep the inscriptions lasting for a while and easily delete the inscriptions when not needed.

Solid markers are made with solid paints so they cannot be removed by hand or rainwater. Car wash presoak or light scrubbing with solvent and water can be easily and quickly removed. So in my opinion it is better to use solid markers instead of shoe polish.

Using Chalk Markers

The best product for writing on car windows is Arteza Liquid Chalk Markers. The chalk marker is odorless and does not stick to the glass so it is very popular with many more like me. With this chalk marker, you can easily make large letters or drawings on your car window. And when you need to remove it, you can easily remove it with some soapy water and a microfiber cloth. 

How To Remove Shoe Polish On Car Window?

I assume you like to use shoe polish on windows. Many people like you use shoe polish on windows and try to remove it when needed but fail.

Don’t worry, here are some effective ways to remove shoe polish from car windows. You can easily remove shoe polish from the car by following this procedure.

Using Hot Water, Soap, And A Clean Towel

This method will work if you have shoe polish on the car window for 2 to 3 days. Because shoe polish takes 2 to 3 days to harden on the window glass.

First, you need to wet the car windows with hot water. Hot water will help loosen the shoe polish from the windows. However, care must be taken not to overheat the water.

After soaking in hot water, make foam in a glass with soap. This time gently rub with a microfiber cloth. And continue to rub until the shoe polish is removed.

Clean With Glass Cleaner

If the polish cannot be removed using soapy water then a glass cleaner should be used. There are some glass cleaners on the market that can easily remove all types of window glass polish in a very short time.

Even hard stains are easily removed. I have been using Invisible Glass 99031 Reach and Clean Tool for many years. It is extremely effective and gives great results, you can also use this glass cleaner if you want.

Remove Shoe Polish Using Acetone

If your car window shoe polish has been around for a long time, it is best to remove the shoe polish using acetone. Acetone is a powerful solvent that is capable of removing all kinds of paints and hard stains. If the shoe polish can’t be removed at all, then acetone will definitely work.

To remove car shoe polish with acetone, you first need to pour acetone on the window with a cloth and wait for 2 to 3 minutes. Then all the hard stains will be removed. However, make sure that the acetone does not touch the paint of your car. The paint can be damaged by touching the paint.
