      If it's on the glass... do you think it might be on the paint also?

      That is, if some type of overspray is drifting in the air and lands on the glass, is is possible it also landed on the paint?

      Maybe feel the paint and see if you feel any overspray on the paint too...

      As far as removal goes, is it possible to backtrack and troubleshoot where the overspray came from?

          its been there for a while, and i dont know where she drove.... on the paint, clay bar, some cleaner polish, and some wax did the job.... see her car is white so not that much heat is created on the surface, but her tint is 5% straight black, thats my guess as to why it came off on the paint but not the windows...

                Did you clay the windows?

                I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.

                I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
                Remove swirls my friends.

                  From my experience in the body shop heres what I found work best when I had some masking mishaps

                  1.) I was spray the glass with a spray type detailer
                  2.) take a NEW razor blade and hold it at an angle
                  3.) Move in one direction making sure to keep the surface wet with detailing spray, Light pressure was better, it doesn't take a lot to remove the over spray and using too much pressure and you're probably going to gouge the window.

                  I've done it several times and had really good luck doing it without damanging the window. But it only takes a few times to learn an extra ten minutes of masking will save hours of clean up time

                  Good Luck!!
