Using razor blade on glass?
I saw Larry at AMMO NYC use a razor blade in a holder to clean windshield glass. Recently I've got some sort of clear specs on my windshield and they aren't coming off with the mist/wipers on the car. I'm thinking that running the razor blade over it might shave them off completely.
At the same time, I don't want to scratch my windshield.
Does anyone have experience doing this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks

I would try clay first

Plenty of people do, in fact there was a recent thread about road paint on glass. I never do it, especially on the windshield. If anything, a plastic razor blade, or clay

I think it is pretty safe as long as the blade is not bent. We use them on glass regularly and have had no problems that I know of. Note: mirrors are not glass, they are plastic and would be damaged. P.S. CLEAR specs makes me suspect little chips? Good luck, Nathan

Yeah...we had a guy on the other forum who used to use a razor blade to clean overpray off of PAINT. Sure, it can be done, it's just is it worth the risk?
I still remember I worked with a guy who I think confused diamonds and glass and swore that a razor blade couldn't cut glass...so he takes a razor blade and draws an X on an interior window to prove it. Guess what? It's still there (the X in the glass...he's long gone). Anyway, more power to you guys who do it, and sure, painters do it all the time on windows, but windshields don't seem to be regular glass anymore, they're curved, and no one tries to look out the windows of their house into oncoming headlights at night.
And that's all I have to say about that.

#0000 steel wool works great on glass. Rinse thoroughly afterwards.

When done right it's safer than a plastic blade. Blades are not so popular in the detail world but they sure are at the body shop.
