Got a car starter installed...
…yesterday and I notice this morning that the shop where I got it done at accidentally spilt some of the glue/silicon they use to keep the transmitter stuck to the inside of my windshield.
The spill is a big drop that is currently sitting right near my shifter (automatic ’05 Mazda 3). I called the shop and left them a message, but does anyone have any “home” remedies to remove this stuff without scratching anything up?
Thanks

there is also a product from places like canadian tire, hardware stores, home depot ... called "goof-off" ... it's used for removing paint and things like that ... dunno if it is non-marring though.

I only say this because I'm a chemist. Nail polish remover, if you're talking about acetone, is just as flammable as alcohol, if not more. It also has a high probability of ruining the surface as it dissolves certain plastics and paints. I would suggest taking it back to the place. The best solvent to use is whatever was in the glue in the first place. It could be toluene, methylene chloride, or some type of alcohol. If you want to do it yourself, try isopropyl alcohol that you buy for cosmetic use. It will already be diluted in water and should not hurt the car, but it might not get the glue off either!
