help with glass cleaning
 

does anyone no of something good to clean paint over spray off of glass PO tried to paint some of my truck and forgot to mask it off thanks bill

Try lotsa windex and a razor blade. You want to make sure to use alot of windex or you can scratch the glass. Best of luck.

yep windex or soapy water, box of razor blades and elbow grease is the best way to do it

Try acetone or finger nail polish remover.

scotchbrite and windex

Be really careful about using an abrasive. Glass does scratch. I found out the hard way trying to clean a really dirty inside of a rear window of smokers residue and used a scotch brite pad with windex. My scrubbing was too much and permanently scratched the glass. (Luckily it was a 78 Fo#D Grenada) (Sorry my post doesn't agree useRc10, just my experience. It might be ok if you use it gently. I didn't.)

I gently use a razor blade to clean overspray on glass.

Try some Pledge. I don't know what's in it but it works. Goof Off will also work.

yeah, you have to be real light with the scotchbrite

I am not sure about the paint but the best glass cleaner on the market is Bon-Ami
Here is a link from a BMW message board that has some good reading.
Bon-Ami FAQ's
It is great for removing Rain X and a lot of the road rash from you windshield. It takes some elbow grease but worth it. It will also make you wipers slide better if they are in decent condition.

Maybe a cloth dipped in a bit of brake fluid? Always takes the paint right off when you DON'T want it to! :banghead: :D

I like light steelwool and windex. :D

Acetone or lacquer thinner Would work best

razor blade & glass cleaner if its thick. 0000 steelwool & glass cleaner if its thin...corn

i work at a body shop and if we ever get overspray on glay, just take some cleaner and razorblade but be careful, you can easily scratch the glass

Carnu-be

i have always used sos pads with pretty good success

Goof-Off or Scotch bug/tar remover. I think they are basicly the same thing. Works real good.

thanks guys for all the info.

Lacquer thinner will take it right off. Then just use regular window cleaner to take off any residue

i've always used steelwool
 

used it lots of time with not problems....

I don't know if its harmful to the glass but I put some brasso on a rag and it wipes right off. :)

I would have to agree with using lacquer thinner. That is what we use on any overspray on glass in the body shop.

why not soften the paint with plain old paint-remover... no danger of scratching the glass !! Lacquer thinner works fine on enamenl based paints.... but not so good on lacquer paint.....

GOTTA GO WITH THE HOT SOAPY WATER AND THE RAZOR BLADE !! HAS WORKED FOR ME IN THE PAST.

you can buff out scratches on glass too, there was a huge scratch on the back window on my Monte, and I used a buffer with car polish to get it out

use brake clean and a paper towel it will take the paint right off then just use glass cleaner to get the residue off no scratches

I use some stuff called "Dons Mobile Glass Cream" Its a extremely fine abraisive cleaner for glass and I use it on my chrome too. Also takes surface rust off chrome. Something that works just as well, "Soft Scrub" cleaner, Then I use straight ammonia. Glass will be like new again. :)

my back and wing windows both have small water spots .... i've tried many things and nothing takes them out .... they are more stubborn then any other water spot i've ever dealt with :banghead: :banghead:

Scroll down almost halfway for spotted glass.

Anyone know of anything you can use to buff out welding spots? I was fixing holes in the roof of my 80 with some fluxcore (read splattery) wire in my MiG, and of course I started on the drivers side (I later bought a gas bottle and switched to a solid core wire) and wherever a splatter landed it melted a bit of glass away and left a small pit, and being flux core, its a LOT of little pits in my windsheild. I can still see out of it, but my wiper is useless now, and I get a lot more glare at night.

I had some over spray on my '81 El Camino. A glass shop told me that 4-ought (0000) steel wool would do the job. It did. Then, any good glass cleaner.

Any grade of steel wool that is coarser than 0000, may scratch the glass.
