Use a razor blade to scrape it off the windows.

Clay bar will work for the paint. For the glass I use either glass cleaner and a razor blade or clay it. If you have any TC questions let me know, I'm a dealer and will help in any way I can.

you will want a hard clay as opposed to a mid or soft clay to remove the overspray. Sonus has an EXCELET line of clays to chose from that work wonders.

As everyone has said claybar, if you don't have confidence to wetsand. I wetsanded mine this weekend....I did my glass, and body to get overspray off this past weekend with a 2500 wet grit paper, and just letting the paper glide over the paint putting no force into it, and it went alot quicker than the claybar would. Then just hit it with a cleaner wax, scratch filler, polish, and carnuba wax to finish it off....as for the glass used a glass polish to get any fine marks off which I couldn't even see any, but I did it anyway to all of them...then put aquapel on them....

I reiterate the make sure you use hard clay bar. I tried the Claymagic, which is like a medium soft in my opinion and it did nothing to the overspray on my car. Oh well it's Silver so no one knows but me anyhow.

ok ive been looking around and ive see 100G 200G and sonus had this ultrafine but it didnt give a rating. So 200G would be what I would need right?

sonus's clay is color coded. I usually use the gray (medium) which has removed overspray before, but you might want to try the blue to be sure. I am just going off memory here on the colors so I would strongly recomend you double check before buying. The green is the ultrafine soft stuff. supposidly, you can use that stuff to clay your car and it wont even remove your previous coat of wax. Suppose to be the ultimated periodic layering tool. With how delicate wax can be, I dont think that is possible but what the hell, maybe it works.

If it is on the door and /or rear glass, a bit of laquer thinner on a rag and then a clay bar will work great.
