overspray

So I got my painted but somehow some paint, light specs got onto my windshield and some on my cf hood. The hood I can hit it with rubbing compound/buffer. What can I use on the windows? I was thinkin razor blade and wet it down a lot..or anything out there I should be to make it easier.

I haven't tried it on overspray but i've heard that the clay bar will take it off. And it'll do wonders for your paint. I'm not too sure about the windshield....

In this thread they were saying to use a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water.... could give that a shot.

I'm hesitating to say use acetone or paint thinner because I don't know the effect of them on glass and because that's obviously putting your paint at a risk

Razor blades are good. Just make sure to spray the entire windshield and cover each spot.

Thanks guys.. I ended up using a razor blade and it worked super fast. Hood is looking far better just a few sports to go over but 3m rubbing compound worked fine.
