Hoe to remove fine paint dots on windshield

[yummy88]

Someone must have been doing some painting where I parked and my car is filled with lots of very tiny paint dots. But what bothers me is the paint dots on my windshield. They are about the size of a period - just a small dot but they bother me when I drive.

What is the best way to remove from windshield?

paint thinner and perhaps a razor blade and a rag.


just be careful not to get any thing on your paint though

 

[Black_Thunder]

i suppose acetone would work just as well by itself.

Use a razor or drive so fast they blow off. (Just kidding about driving fast.)

Gasoline?

 

[ZZman]

Razor blade

Paint overspray on glass is fairly easy to remove with a razor blade.

yep, razor... Id be worried about those on your actual paint.

Steel wool works very well for removing concentrated overspray from glass, but since you describe it as dots a razorblade is indeed probably the most effective.

A rag, moist with acetone will work. Why would anyone want to start scraping?

How much are you paying her?

Sorry. Couldn't resist.

I would say a WD-40 soaked razor blade, or acetone rag and razor blade on the glass.

I would try a Clay Bar. It's by far the safest of all the methods mentioned, if that doesn't remove the paint overspray I would go with solvents.

I thought he was going to use a gardening implement, although it did seem like overkill.

There is that.

Dampen a rag lightly with lacquer thinner and go for it. It won't hurt the glass, just be careful not to get it on the paint however I doubt it would be much of a problem with a finish that has been kept up. Deffinetly don't let it soak in the paint.

Thanks for the tips. I think I will go with acetone on a cloth for a start followed by razor.

BTW what is the best glass cleaner out there. Windex comes to mind but I read in another forum about one that comes in a aerosol can.

Stoner's aerosol glass spray is my favorite. I also like Sprayway foam spray and it smells really good.

I used throttle body cleaner. It works but isn't as lethal as lacquer thinner. Follow up with Stoners invisible glass and wipe dry with a microfiber towel then a coat of RainX. DON'T use metal of any sort on window glass unless you want to be polishing out the scratch marks.

A rug soaked with: gasoline or kerosene, acetone, paint thinner and etc......
