use some laquer thinner sparingly......i buffed glass many times it will come off...clay bar might take some off...but since its not hardend clearcoat like a paint job....buffing will get it off too....good excuse to get a full detail done..

did it have anythign to do with the fact that your blocking off the sidewalk? anyway claybar or some medium-fine polish should be able to get that right out. id probably get it professionaly done, im sure theyve dealed with that type of stuff before.

you can wet sand and buff that right off. or so dx330 might take it off. and just buff it out. paint thinner will take it off the glass.

Yeah, like that councilman in Philly who's going to prison. He climbs up to the top of city hall and threatens suicide before he could get indicted, and then chickens-out. Now he's going to prison and still claims the Feds did him in. Said he plans to study law and lose 25 lbs. while in prison.

Pennsylvania is the only place I've ever heard of where people are in politics and don't even have a bachelor's degree. What a wacky place, another councilman drove 25 years without a license. This place is living in the 70's.

I Work For An Insurance Claims Division And Most Of The Guys Are Right, Work Light Handed With Acetone And Then Use A Paint Cleaner And Then Wax. Where You Might Have A Problem Is On The Trim Pieces. You Might Want To Try Witch Hazel On The Trim Or Call A Local Body Or Detail Shop And Ask Them What They Use On Trim Pieces. Good Luck!

Are you sure that it's actually spray paint? I work at an autoparts store and we carry this stuff that looks like spray paint to write things on cars. It just washes off with soap and water.

And then can you explain how a glass 'key' cutter is made of metal?

Go to Home Depot or your local hardware store and get a can of Goof-Off.
The spray paint will wipe right off with a rag with that stuff.
Use a razor blade and 000 steel wool on the windows.

Clean up shouldn't take more then 1 hr.
