razor blade and window spray put heaps of window spray on then slide the razor blade across on a real sharp angle and it should come straight off, as thinners can usually just smudge the dry paint

yer agreed with above, make sure its a brand new sharp razor blade and ur careful, otherwise u can scratch the glass. obviously dont attempt this, if the windows are tinted and the overspray is on the tint side.

I used to have a big fish tank and cleaned all the glass with razor blade all the time. Doesn't scratch it. Also cleaned off old stickers and stuff on car windows etc. before, it comes off very easy + won't scratch. Only thing is (as someone already mentioned) if you have tinted windows...then you're screwed. Then it's time to actually start trying to scrub everything clean :P

yes, its the best stuff... we use it at work... If you run your hand over your paint and it feels slightly rough (generally industrial fall and harder bits of dirt) you just run the clay block over it while its wet (soapy water) and it will feel smooth as afterwards....

I'm just about to attempt this on the windscreen. It's mainly on the top corners, close to the windscreen moulds and mainly on the tinted area of the windscreen. It should be fun. Just wanted to know if this has worked for people recently.
