Evidently I didn't tape off my windows as well as I though I did and some overspray got on all my windows.  I tried using paint thinner but all this seems to do is smeer what's on there and makes the window look foggy.  So anyone got any tips for getting this stuff off?
When I was just a very young lad I looked up and told my dad, a bareback rider's what I wanna be.  I want the whole world to know about me.  In the rodeo arena I'll make my stand.  I wanna be a rodeo man.  I'll come flyin' from the chute with my spurs up high, chaps and boots reachin' for the sky.  Spurin' wild with my head throwed back, you'll ask 'Who's that,' well that's Bareback Jack.  You'll ask 'Who's that,' well that's Bareback Jack.

I did razor blade and a small amount of brake fluid on a rag.  :Twocents:
Have a spray bottle of water and detergent and a clean cloth  for directly after the blade and fluid. That is what I did, just make sure as hell that you throw the rags away right after and do not get that fluid near any paint.

I use the ultra fine steel wool if there is a lot of it. :yesnod:

Depending on how much over spray you got on there, you could use a clay bar and lubricant to get it off.

FWIW, I would NEVER use brake fluid, thinner, etc on glass with a freshly painted car. Too much risk of error, a disaster waiting to happen.
Glass cleaner with a razor blade or 0000 steel wool is all you need. It will come right off. Use a very mild polish on the glass when you're through.

Yeah, If your name is Shakey or Corky. Keep a steady hand and take your time with the fluids bro'. The brake fluid works like majic. :Twocents:
