I've had some odd speckles on the inside of my windshield, side windows, rearview mirror, and windscreen for a while. Recently it seemed to be getting worse, and I finally realized what it is - I use a spray-on sun block in my car and the speckles are the overspray. My usual combination of glass/plastic cleaners and microfiber towels hasn't done much good removing the speckles; and I'm running out of ideas. Any thoughts on how remove them?

TIA.

 

Hmm...well, I guess this is a good lesson for you - no more spraying sunblock on while you're in the car! The overspray could possibly be all over your interior, not just the windows.

Have you tried taking a razor blade to the speckles? It works wonders on paint overspray, so it's maybe worth a try with sunblock overspray.

 

is there any type of contents list of the sunblock? maybe some paint thinner...just don't let that drip anywhere else!

 

Haven't gotten that extreme. Was hoping for a chemical solution

I'll have to look into alternative application methods...

 

This is actually a serious suggestion ...... I know you may think I am joking but I am not ...... cut an orange into quarters and rub that on the glass, the acid in the orange is good a breaking down deposits like that. Just make sure that you don't allow it to drip to the bottom of the window or on the interior. Afterwards wash the orange off the glass with hot soapy water.

Don't know about using it on the windscreen but how about a clay bar?

 

Use Acetone on glass or mirrors. It will work wonders.

DO NOT USE IT ON PLASTIC or paint.

 

Goo Gone ™ is good for removing rampant amounts of stuff from a plethora of surfaces.

 

The overspray is on the rearview mirror which is plastic... acetone might be worth a shot.

Ingrediants:
- Homosalate
- Octinoxate
- Octisalate
- Oxybenzene <-- sounds bad

Inactives:
- SD Alcohol 40
- Acrlates/Octylacrylamide
- Copolymer
- Fragrance <-- stuff still stinks
