Default Clear coat overspray removal?
How do you remove clear coat overspray from GLASS? That is to say when a part was being clearcoated, some clearcoat got on some poorly masked glass...
Thanks!

At the body shop I work at we always use a razor blade to get any overspray off of windshield, etc.

For glass, 0000 steel wool, razor blade or paint thiner or clay. If you have any decals on the outside on the front glass, dont use thiner. For paint, I would use clay.

Unless a car is just covered in it. I dont see why they would buff it off. That is the wrong to do it.

What they meant to say is they went crazy with a razor blade and followed it up with a nice buffing to try and hide all the scratches that they left.
