Removing lacquer



  Suzuki Ignis Sport
Accidently got some specs of lacquer on my windscreen, what can i use to get rid of it?... would white spirit work?

sounds like a plan!

instead of hte blade, could i use a scrubber?.. like those green ones?

I don't think I'd risk thinners. If it runs down and off the screen, you've got problems.

Why not try a normal knife or some kind of scraper
lacquer shouldn't stick very well to glass, so should be quite easy to break it's grip.

haz, why you so scared of using a blade? trust me, i wouldnt give out any bad advice. if theres ever been overspray on glass from cars that have just been painted we get it off with a blade.

thinners makes a mess and can damage the rubbers (unlikely on the windscreen as its the scuttle)

but definatly, 100%, just use a stanley blade flat. i promise you, you wont damage the glass, itll probably make it look better and youll end up doing the entire screen

to put your mind to rest.

when repairing stone chips on windscreens, you drill into the window with a diamond ended drill bit until you reach the plastic centre.

you then inject into that a residue and hardener and it overflows onto the glass. this is dryed and then scraped off (just like laquer) with a stanley blade back n forth until the chip is no longer visible

LOL - very likely - He was the kid that never lost his stabilizers on his bike, or wore knee and elbow pads with a helmet on his skateboard ;)

Can't blame me for being extra careful right? lol

dont worry bud.

Go into focus and ask for a glass paint scraper, these are used to remove gloss paint from glass when you paint the frames on your house.

ITs a holder with a FLAT blade if you dont trust yourself, lol.
