Tony,
The chemical solutions are the better way to go. If they do not work 600
paper will scratch the living daylights out of the windshield. Sounds
like they are trying to sell more products. If you use "sand" (abrasive)
paper then start with 2000 and move up to 4000 or 6000 if you can get it.

so - the continuing saga - after my glareshield fell off on takeoff (see
earlier post) a friend repaired it and remounted it. Then he noticed
that he had "missed" a few spots so he brought the aerosol of black
paint into the cockpit . . . well, you can guess the rest.
Does anyone know how to remove black paint spots from the windshield?
600 grade wet and dry paper was suggested by our local aircraft parts
supply house - sounds a bit extreme to me. I also tried lexan scratch
remover - GREAT product - available from any good Harley Dealer - great
on scratches that is - not too hot on paint.

Any ideas gratefully received

Tony
