what is that white stuff that people use to write on car windows?

Yes, you may all [Laugh]

silly lusti.

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :

You can buy special window paint that comes off easy, they used to have it at my work.

Posted by Rappin' Ronnie Reagan (Member # 5626) on :

They sell it at Wal-Mart.

Posted by ludosti (Member # 1772) on :

What a cool idea - paint that comes easily off windows and easy accessible at your neighborhood Walmart! What smart people!

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :

Yeah, technology is amazing. Now people can write obscene things on their cars and wipe it off right after! Risk-free!!

The only stupid questions are the ones never asked....

Posted by Head Ditch Digger (Member # 5085) on :

Yes lcarus, you may speak.

Posted by Icarus (Member # 3162) on :

I did . . .

I just wanted to let you all know that I had a stupid question! [Big Grin]

Posted by Damien (Member # 5611) on :

Don't ask....

Fog.

There are no stupid questions, only stupid people.

My friends always used shaving cream to write on car windows. I don't know about this fancy car chalk y'all are talkin' 'bout! [Wink]

Posted by slacker (Member # 2559) on :

*senses that his dirty car will soon have writing on it*

Let's just remember that it's a pain to get off the windows (nigh on impossible) if it gets baked on (like in the AZ summer/early fall heat).

Posted by Feyd Baron (Member # 1407) on :

I personally always used white shoe polish. Supposedly it can damage paint is applied directly, but I never saw it happen (not that I was the one doing that of course)

That's a nice cheap alternative.

Chalk dust and the morning dew. Do they have that in Arizona? [Wink]

Baby powder and water?

Posted by HollowEarth (Member # 2586) on :

i though it was soap.

Posted by jehovoid (Member # 2014) on :

There are stupid questions:

What color was George Washington's white horse?

How much do things cost at the Dollar Store?

Why does it burn when I urinate?

Who's buried in Shakespeare's grave?

Black as a polar bear.
More than they're worth.
Leaning too close to the campfire.

Bacon, or some other ham.

Posted by Farmgirl (Member # 5567) on :

Feyd and I must be old-fashioned.
I also had only heard of using white shoe polish (like after weddings, etc.)

Never knew they were now making a specific "car window paint" that you can get at your local Wal-Mart. What will they think of next?

Plain old tempera paint will wash off pretty easily. You can use it to paint your windows at Christmas, too--my SIL does hers (and sometimes mine) every year.

Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :

It's only a stupid question if you're asking a smart person.

There are no stupid questions, but there are a LOT of inquisitive idiots.

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :

Why do I yearn when I burninate?

Posted by jehovoid (Member # 2014) on :

Excellent question.

Posted by Kayla (Member # 2403) on :

Actually, there are many things at the Dollar Store that are not a dollar. [Razz]

Posted by Julie (Member # 5580) on :

My brother always told me that stupid questions deserve stupid answers.
And I too always thought it was soap. I've also seen commercials for a foam type substance that you can write on cars with.

Posted by Boon (Member # 4646) on :

Tempera paint is wonderful, wonderful stuff. If you mix it 1 part liquid dishsoap to 2 parts paint, it will rinse easily off almost any surface: house windows, faces, children's hands, and yes, even car windows...

Posted by ludosti (Member # 1772) on :

*hides head in shame of having to ask yet another stupid question* Can I get tempera paint at a regular craft store? [Monkeys]
