If quick detailer or something doesn't get it off easy, then I'd say you're going to have to use a clay bar. It's the most non-abrasive method I could come up with.

So you took your car to school and this happens? That flat out sux!!!

I'd post in the "Ask a detailer" thread, I bet George has an answer for you. Have you tried the Bug and Tar, might give Goof Off or rubbing alcohol a try if that doesn't work.

Keep us posted!!

Tried bug and tar. Didn't work.

I finally just bit the bullet and did the one thing i never thought i'd do.





*gulp*






















Took my car to a car wash..... Dons car wash that is... i was just FREAKING the **** out watching my car from behind the glass. Literally just biting my ****ing nails. (no exaggeration either, i do not like car washs)

They pulled it around and wiped it off (went to the nicest car wash in town. I did the basic wash and it was still $13) and it looked good. Pulled out and YES! Most of the **** was blasted off leaving a dot here and there that i fingernailed off. Windows were still covered but i'll get that when i get out of class.

My wheels were also lightly scratched which i flipped the hell out over. Went to the Oreillys and got some mothers mag and aluminum polish. Tried it on a wheel, success.. Thank god. Flew back to school and now im here in class. I'll be campin out in the parking lot afterwards polishing my wheels and getting the last white marks off, but idc. My car is my life and i was seriously ****ting a brick earlier...

I'm just happy i dont have to spend the night in the DIY car wash with a clay bar. Just simply dont have time for that. lots of homework to do.

Using a clay bar should help you safely and effectively remove most of the rest of the spots. Sounds like it's under control though.

Spots or raised specks? Glass is MUCH harder than paint, you should be able to safely take it off with a plastic razor.

Yep, this is what I typically use, sometimes even a real razor if needed. Lubricate the surface and try to get it as parallel to the glass as possible.

Good advice Darkstar

lots of glass cleaner and a razor blade will work wonders and make things go by pretty fast.
