Mike,
An answer to your second query. My wife is a nurse, and every so often she
carries home in her pocket, a small packet used to remove the adhesive tape
they use in a hospital setting. They look just like the little hand wipes
they give you at rib restaurants, but do a great job removing tape residue.
I can't tell you the name for them, as I don't have one right now, but any
large drug store should carry them. Your friend may want to try a test, to
see how they react with P%*S%# windows.
