    I've noticed that there's a bit of light overspray on my front window but no ideas on what best to use to get rid of it.

    Any ideas anyone?

    I would take a guess at some kind of paint stripper/ turps etc then clean using glass cleaner afterwards.

    Use a bit paint thinners on a cloth then just wash the windows after.

    You don't need anything other than a new stanley blade
    Angle it at about 45 degree's to the glass and it will come off nae bother at all
    Only needs light pressure and it leaves no marks whatsoever.....works a treat

    But he is more likely to have paint thinners/petrol/turps luying about than a flat bladed razor plade with the appropriate holder.

    I use the blades to remove old dealer stickers but in my experience its still quicker and safer to use a chemical to remove light overspray.

    I think i'll give the turps a go, its quite a large area so will be easier than a flat blade

    Cheers for the replies
