listen to me .....gasoline will do the trick. I used to be a professional auto detailer and i'll swear by it. Just wipe gently and it will come right off. FTW=For Teh Win

And just in case the gas dulls where you rubbed it---which if the paint was sealed good it won't-a clean dry cloth and some polishing compound will restore the luster.

go to wal-mart and pick up a can of klean strip... it will eat the paint right off, i promise //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif works much much much better than gasoline

Only if you want to take it down to the metal...

thats dependant of how long you leave it on... it didnt eat through the primer on my car. it ate the paint off my bike though, down to the metal... cause it didnt have any primer on it.

if you leave it on for about 5, and as soon as the paint starts peeling, spray it off (car wash) it should be fine...

So, you're just trying to get over-spray off, right?

You can scrape the windows with a razor.

As far as the over-spray on the painted areas go, if you want to keep the original paint underneath, don't use the Klean Strip. You can try the gasoline, or if that does't work, try Rain-X. It'll remove any wax where ever you use it, but won't bother the original paint...
