Default paint on windows

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.

it's like a brillo pad made of steel like this:



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.
