Default Massive overspray on windows

Someone brought me a car with a ridiculous amount of overspray on the windows after work today....

They used goo-gone, paint thinner and even tried razor blades & rubbing compound and couldn't get it off. I took some QD from ObsessiveDetail and clayed the window. It came off with ease and I had all the windows done in about 10 minutes.

I've tried all the glass cleaning products and I always end up with streaks. It makes me suicidal, so for a long time I used straight water and tried a water/vinegar mix, which works good but it has no real cleaning abilities..

I soaked a microfiber in some No Rinse and washed the window and dried with a dry MF and voila. Streak free baby. +1

A buddy of mine did the same thing to his car when over spray got on it, and it worked like a charm. I never would have guessed lol Definitely a nice trick to keep in mind though just in case.

Shocking part was they've owned the car for 3 months now, so the overspray isn't fresh and definitely had time to bond and cure. I was surprised myself to see the clay take it off.

Duff, you use NR on the interior? What materials do you use it on? Never tried.
