Almost finished with a several year project restoring a '68 that received a very cheap re-paint just before I got it. With everything now back together it is obvious that there is a very light overspray on the windshield. Could be primer or paint. Best way to remove? Lightly rub with lacquer thinner?

Thanks, Greg

I think the lacquer thinner will work so will a new razor blade.

Second on the razor blade...soapy water is your friend.

Put some goof off on a shop rag. Stuff works great.

0000 steel wool and foamy spray glass cleaner is my go-to. Razor blade next. Thinner not on my list of solutions.

I always used 0000 steel wool for that or trims but make sure you blow the particles away, how many times I didn't clean the wool particles, car got wet and ended with tiny specks of rust on the paint, Nothing you cant buff away, but why work twice

Water and 3000-5000 grit Trizact on a DA works well just stay away from the trim, then cerium oxide using a 3" felt pad, then buffing compound on a 3" black foam pad. Don't work the glass in one area too long, keep it moving and set at around 1000rpm. Don't want to over heat it. Just got done doing all my side glass but I started with 1200 and worked my way up to remove some scratches. Before and after, Just my .02

We had a HUGE fire up here a few years back, @ the old Bethelhem Steel plant. Much toxic crap in air to include embers apparently, as they "micro-melted" onto the modern plastic-+ Toyo windshield. PS It looked JUST LIKE overspray from a can of Rusto satin black.

Point is, a bottle of soap and water mix and a single edge blade worked it smooth, even a modern "plastic" windshield. Can;t rememebr if I buffed it out at the end, I think I did to remove some small razor scratches, - yet on 100% safety glass you shouldn't have to. ( wool pad and a 3m product)

Thanks for the replies. Looks like I'll start with a new razor blade and something less aggressive than lacquer thinner.
