Removing paint dots off glass

I agree. Tool steel is ranked 7-8 on the Mohs scale. Quartz is 7. Use any covalent solvent. Lac thinner (mostly acetone) would work very well but you might want to keep that stuff far away from the good paint and plastic on your car. One slip, and your car will need a new paint job. Try a milder solvent first, like lighter fluid, or diesel.

Try a clay bar.

Try a credit card, or ice scraper, awhile back, Oldsmobile used a " safety " coating on the inside of windshield, what a mess come sticker time ! The auto industry responded with a plastic razor blade, check with an auto body supplier to see if still available. Bronze wool [ boat supply ] is used to clean fiberglass boats, works great on glass. I'd avoid solvent, as it tends to turn paint spots into paint film. I don't know what type paint, or how much landed on car, my guess is it's house paint, and should come off easily.

I hate to tell you this, but if you have paint specks on your windows you probably have them on the paint too. Try WD40 to remove them and the other suggestions here, but if they dont work get it to a pro to get the stuff off your painted finish quick.

Try "Oops" or "Goof Off" first. Available at paint stores and paint departments of discount stores. Very gentle. Work up from there to lacquer thinner or polishing compound.

Scott,

I don't feel paint specs when rubbing the hands across the car body, I'm betting the car had a heavy coat of dirt on it when the paint got on the windows. Due to this light Cashmier color of the Buick its so hard to see the dirt on it the car doesn't get washed as much as my black Bonneville did. The windows however are washed almost every other day.

My uncle had a black 79 Electra years ago and worked near a place that painted. They must of been blasting the paint fumes out the exhaust fan and all over the neighborhood. After 8 hours under the hot sun paint dust was baked on all the cars around the machine shop my uncle worked at.

My uncles car felt so gritty, like someone had thrown sand all over the car. He had to buff the car out monthly to remove all the paint spec's.

Try this, a nothing to lose and everything to gain solution, Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. Dampen and rub with moderate force on the offending spots. The Magic Eraser works on ink, Sharpie marks, and surface door rubs. I used it to remove red door marks from my white 1990 Buick Century Limited.

I used Oops on my Pontiac 6000 when we got overspray on the good paint job on it, and it took the overspray right off while keeping the paint job together fine. Also, my cousin drove my grandma's Yamaha G1 golfcart wrecklessly and put a nice red mark across the entire side of the golf cart from a red picnic table. Oops took that right off also.
