Overspray on front screen.
Hi.
Had a new screen fitted two weeks ago.
Had replacement boot sprayed one week ago.
Car sprayer muppet decided it wasn't worth sheeting the car very well and as a consequence i've got overspray all over the place. He's ok with buffing it all off when the weather gets a bit cooler but i'm fed up looking through an opaque screen.
Anybody got a clue how to get the overspray off the windscreen.
Sprayer said "wire wool" or maybe a razor blade.
I think "T-cut"(as i removed flies,crap,sap from my van screen this way.)
Car windscreen fitting place says none of the above and it needs to be a "special stuff" they use.
Anybody removed any before from a windscreen and not left marks?
Ta.

I'd tend to try it with a thinners soaked rag first, finishing off with T-cut, or Mer type polish, and work hard at it!
ANYTHING abrasive can cause scratches, swirl marks etc on glass, as can a stanley, or razor, blade. Into a lowering sun, they are a nightmare.
I once had a new screen on a 205GTi, and the fitter removed a label with a safety razor blade. On the way home, I could see scratches looking into a lowering sun. Sure enough, it had to be done again
