Vape?

Post by sol-lude » Fri Jun 29, 2018 9:06 pm

Right guys after a little help on removing what I'm going to take a guess at is vape oil that has crystallised on the rear window.
I've been at it a while but ain't coming off used vinegar, glass cleaner (spray and liquid)
Anyone else had this issue?

Also I'm not judgemental and have been a smoker but if this is what vaping is doing to the inside of a car what's it doing to the inside of you?

Sounds a right mess, and like you say, is that crap in vaper's lungs? I can't offer any practical advice, buddy other than plenty of elbow grease and vinegar by the gallon. ;) Good luck.

Sugar?
(when I smell people vaping, I've always thought it smells incredibly sweet, so I'm assuming vape is loaded with sugar?)

I'm assuming it's something that can crystallise. When jumping into brothers car in the past there has been a definite film of oil on the windscreen. Exposure to heat and cold has crystallised it on the window its a c*nt to remove.

Wonder wipes (trade cleaning wipes) definitely made a dent but still a bugger to remove. Still not full clean.

Break cleaner will shift it!
If it looks like jobby and smells like jobby it probably is jobby!
