    You bet. Cleaned the grease right off. Great stuff that is. Then of course cleaned properly with water and a grease-free squeegee.

      I will have to remember that for the future. Never would have used that on the glass..........i would have used some citris based cleaner to remove the grease.

                Duct tape, of course. I always keep a roll of duct tape and can of WD40 in my trunk. There's an old saying that goes with this thinking: If it moves and shouldn't, use duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use WD40. Works for me anyway.

                  I would have thought UMT #1 would have been below the belt ... if you catch my drift! ;)

                    Sure, it works great on lots of surfaces to remove grease. I'm particularly fond of using it to remove sticky labels from glass/plastic/wood surfaces.

                        I guess the "secret" is to use a dry rag/towel.
