That's a no no as well as lacquer thinner on the front windshield.It will affect the film in the middle of the windshield making everything wave looking.If it doesn't still come off with a blade,try barkeeper cleaner.It should come off with a metal blade.

Never had an issue. Your results may vary. We always used it in the body shop. Just do not get on paint, rubber or seals

Re: remove old water repellent film on windshield?
The damage is not something you see on the glass,it's rather inside the glass.The way to detect damage is drive the car and your vision will be in layers of waves.acetone is safe to use on paint,but not single stage.and no seals or rubbers.as this mistake cost me 380.00 for a new windshield back in the 90's

Wait are you saying lacquer thinner will go THROUGH the outer glass layer and attack the inner film?
(let's assume the grass isn't cracked or chipped)

Are you talking about a windshield ceramic coating/Aquapel or something like RainX?
