Those parking lots that have a security guard plaster an awful huge red sticker on the driver's window as a way to punicsh you and discourage you from ever parking there again:
Spray your window with silicone spray.
I did this after getting one of those stickers.
There was no where else to park so I used that lot.
On my way back to my truck I saw a security guard trying to get his sticker on my window.
He got it to "stay" sort of after some effort.
When I went to my truck I flicked it off with one finger and It fell off onto the pavement where I left it.

Re: DIY parking on the shady side
Thu, July 9, 2009 - 1:57 PMBy "silicone spray", do you mean stuff like Rain-X? If so, it not only keeps the annoying stickers at away, but keeps water and road grime at bay as well. -

Re: DIY parking on the shady side
Thu, July 9, 2009 - 3:05 PMRain-X is an alcohol of some sort. There is no silicone in it. I think it's a polymer alcohol. You can google the MSDS sheet for nearly any product and then take the CAS number from the MSDS and google that and learn what the mystery ingredients are.
Silicone spray is around for a zillion applications. I think "Camp Dry" is silicone spray.
Most all auto wax products are loaded with the stuff.
If you are a wood worker and apply your finishes you will eschew all silicone compounds because the stuff is beastly hard to get rid of and spreads out to a layer one molecule thick. One drop can spread out like to a thirty foot area. It spreads by mere incidental physical contact and when it's on the wood you can't get a finish to take for love or money.
I rather suspect that products like ARMOR ALL will work too. Armor All is really nothing but PTFE ( teflon) in a micron or smaller powder in a water emulsion.
