Use just enough to have the area of the *** under your fingers damp and scrub it. Take the windscreen off like what should have been done before painting

Yeah you dont want to use paint thinner
The actual material used to make the windshield is acrylic
most paint thinners are acrylic based, what that means, is it will eat through the actual windshield too..
believe me I learned the hard way....

The easiest way is get high grit sand paper wet send it out

i would say 600 wet sand move up to 1000 then to 2000

Then Use NOVUS stage 2 the novus stage 1 for the fine scratches

It will look brand new, good luck!
