I was a little careless when touching up my ute tray a few weeks ago and didnt cover all my windows. Consequently ive got all these white speckled dots on my back window.
Whats the best (cheapest) way to remove the paint?
Thanks
Dan

Dan,
If you use a sharp razor it will remove the spots pronto. Use a blade from a
stanley trimmer or similar.
Be careful you don't scratch the glass

OR just use a steel wool soap pad,then just hose it off,the steel wool is also good to get those bugs off the widscreen.Especially those ones that are out of reach of the wiper blades!merry xmas

I've found that some windscreens are softer than others and the steel wool and scouring pads will scratch them quite easily, I'd go with the sharp razor blade, just be careful near the edges asit will cut the rubber seals very easily.

Forgot to spray the window with WD40 or similar before you started?
Comes off a lot easier if you do.
Just remember to clean it off the paint before spraying otherwise the new coat doesn't stick as
well :-)

Use a paint thinner that matches the paint you used and clean off with the thinner applied to a rag.
