Default Paint Overspray on Windshield

It looks like I have some paint overspray on my windshield. At least, that's what I think it is. Any suggestions on what to use?

After a quick search, I came up with Zaino Z-12 as a product to polish windshields. Will this work for paint overspray? Can I purchase it at a local autostore?

Thanks!

I'd be hard pressed to find Zaino products at a local auto parts store!

What they do sell that you can use though is a claybar kit. Claying the windshield would most likely take the paint overspray out.

The clay bar is standard body shop procedure for removing overspray from paint. It should work fine on glass, too.

A single edge razor blade would probably work fine on glass, also.

Zaino should also do a fine job for you but the other two methods are probably cheaper. If you can't find Zaino locally, you can order it at:

Great suggestions. A razor blade, clay, or glass polish should definitely cure the situation. My guess is that the razor blade or clay will be more effective though.

Also, there are many companies that make glass polish. Where were you searching that you only came up with Z12?

A flat razor should work...spray some window cleaner on it before running the blade down the glass for a smoother swipe. A clay bar will also work..
