Default Overspray on glass, any suggestions

I've got some overspray on my side windows, any suggestions for removing this without hurting the glass.

i was gonna say paint thinner, but was beat to it. :D its better than a razor, because you have less chance of damaging the glass.

Use thinner, the blade can scratch the glass if you are not careful. You don't need to saturate the rag with thinner, just as long as the rag is moist...this way you won't spill any on the paint.

yep, use steel wool. Just go over it very lightly, do not press down.

After using the thinner. Use some "Bon Ami" cleanser. It can be bought at most grocery stores. It is a non-abrasive cleaner that will polish the glass and remove the rest of the crud.

very fine steel wool or if you can find it, brass wool -- very hard to find.

When I was attending high school, I worked in my dad's body shop after class cleaning up oversparay, and detailing the cars after repaints....small amounts of thinner made the cleanups simple, and Bon Ami was used to polish all the glass.
