black spray painting wiper arms. a damn hassel tryin to take them off so i just taped off around it and used what i thought would be enough newspaper around the entire area plus some more.
the wind draft kicked my butt and took the spray with it landing some on my front windshield.
tried scrubbing with a bunch of different products and towels.. nothing

anyone know how to take off small speckled paint off windows without damaging them

simple razor blade ;) and some laquer thinner or even alittle paint remover.... put the paint remover on a towel and put the towel over the painted area on the glass and rub, just use a new rag to wipe the stuff off. then just clean the glass with some glass cleaner....

Try rubbing alcohol. Make sure you don't get paint thinner on your car's paint

You could also try steel wool, but make sure you wet the glass and the steel wool with soapy water so you dont scratch the glass.

p.s. i told you sandblasting is the best way....lol, j/k

but seriously the time it takes to tape everything and mask it off, you could have just got a wrench and take them off in about one minute flat.

Razor blade works best. I've done it before. I painted my window trim that had chipped off the plain silver and it got a little on the windows, and i scraped it off with a razor blade, works great.

i know this is a little old but if you use steel wool use the 0000 stuff and you will never scratch glass even, but will remove paint fine, i used to work auto body for a couple of summers and that is what they always used on newly painted cars, im talking $10,000 paint jobs just make sure you are using 0000 and keep it wet with some glass cleaner and wash it off with a hose right when you are done so you don't have the metal chips anywhere, if you don't believe me go ask your local auto body shop.

id use the razor blade (i dont think you can scrape your window even if you tried, with the blade sideways) Thats how i always remove the city stickers........and those damn parking tickets that stick on a little too well
