Use a brillo or sos pad, just make sure you wet the pad good before you use it.

I won't use steel wool thats for sure. You will scratch your window up. I would try some Adhesive remover first. if that doesn't work then try claying the window. There is 2 different types of clay. One is for road grim and the other is for paint overspray. Obviously get the paint overspay one. Good luck.

Just go down to Pep Boys and get some clay. Works as good on glass as it does on paint.

Most clays are part of a system...you have to use a lubricant. Try some auto soap and some water...wet the surface and rub..should take the overspray right off. If that's alittle scary try some swirl remover or very fine compound and some elbow grease.:D

You can get a kit at Kregans (I am pretty sure there are Kregans down south). The kit is by Mothers and you get the clay and lub. Just spray it on then rub the overspray with the clay and the crap will go into the clay.

You can also use a single-edge razor blade. Use it just like you would to clean paint off window panes on your house after painting.
