Will Goof Off stain vinyl replacement windows?

It can take the stain off and the shine off because it is acetone based, - It all depends on what kind of stain it is.

My concern will not be in staining, but in melting or hazing the finish. Goof-off is a powerful solvent. For example, it will "frost" most any clear plastic surface. It is a colourless liquid, so it will not stain, but be careful around plastics. Find a scrap piece and see how it reacts. Remember that a damp cloth is much less invasive than a drop. Goo-gone is much milder.... What is it that you are trying to remove?

Gene sounds knowledgeable here- all I can say is that the bottle says "For Use ON: vinyl baseboard, vinyl floors, solid vinyl upholstery, vinyl tops..."among others. It only says "damages may occur to worn vinyl floors." I agree- try goo-gone first (or even orange essential oil has worked for me and less toxic). This stuff is potent.

I used it on Sunbrella brand fabric and it worked very well. No experience with vinyl.

No, but it will go a pretty good way to bleaching them and making them more like a shadow than a stain. It's better than nothing, but doesn't bring it back to new unfortunately. I'm not sure how bad it is for the vinyl, but Acetone has been a pretty good way to clean vinyl. Do not get this product or the acetone on anything NOT white. It will take out the color.

Not sure. But I can tell you that I was very disappointed in the finish quality on vinyl. I would have little confidence using it on fabric.

Yes. While there are better and less harsh alternatives, this compound will remove the clear coat and paint if you work diligently enough at it. For windows, I'd suggest a solution of 3 parts white vinegar to 1 part water, as someone else also suggested.

Any plastic/vinyl restorer leaves a "wet look". That is the way they work. Vinylex is much less wet looking than any other product I have tried. It also fades back to normal more quickly. Really nice for interior trim. Maybe not as long lasting for exterior but the wipes make it easy to apply more often.

The product is designed not to make any noise and is Vinyl free. Once applied, you won't even know its there. Hope this helps.

I applied it using a micro fiber towel, working a 1 sq foot section at a time i just put 2 beads on the towel and rub it on the vinyl rubbing hard for the tough stains and it got them all out. You need to have a good quality micro fiber towel and i would recommend Chemical Guys MIC50706, they are great. I did not wash the vinyl prior to application.

If you've upholstered before it shouldn't be too difficult but if intend to recover the existing vinyl, be aware there's piping (welting) around the edge so you might want to add batting to compensate if you're not removing the original.

It can leave a slight amount of residue if you don't remove it carefully. Make sure if you remove it that you run the removed portion as close as possible to whats still on the window as you pull down the film.

Were you trying to paint the vinyl or the glasses. The vinyl is water proof so it should work for what you're trying to do

Yes, just make sure the entire surface is cleaned off really well, I used window cleaner, that seems to work well.

I used Goo Gone but watch how hard you rub. If you have wood veneer finish, it may take it off too.

YOU removed window tint plastic from glass?? I believe this is what you are saying. If so, I would use GooGone to remove the residue and then use Invisible Glass to shine the glass.

I stained mine and they turned out very nice. You could leave them unstained but I would recommend a few coats of varathane or maybe tung oil to seal them. I used a foam brush to apply the stain and lint free rag to wipe off the excess. I just wrapped the rag around a putty knife to wipe off the excess stain between the louvers and in crevices. It was actually much easier than I expected.

This won't remove the stain, it removes the varnish. If you like the color then seal it. if not stain it the color you want. Good luck
