OK I need a word from some of the Experts out there.
I have some 2 part epoxy over spray on the windshield of a 182.
I know the easy way to get it off, but I want to keep the windshield!
Now this time it was not I who did the over spray, but it's my windshield now!
I do have a windshield resurfacing kit but am pretty lazy, Looking for a quick fix!
Thanks GT

No expert, but I've cleaned plenty of epoxy paint off windshields. I use mild polishing compound most of the time. Thought it would scratch the first time I put it on a helicopter bubble but haven't ruined anything yet.

Two of my Hot Rodder friends say "Clay Block" is the answer. They are available at Hot Rod Shops and automotive paint supply stores. My friends both claim it works wonders on overspray on expensive painted surfaces. I have never used, or seen it used, on acrylic so I can only pass on hear-say. I would recommend an experiment on a piece of scrap Plexiglas before rubbing a hole in your windshield.

GT,
+1 on the clay bar. I used Mothers clay bar kit on my 170. I can't say enough about it. I started at the tail working forward removing overspray and oxidation. When I was done with the paint, I started looking around for other stuff to rub on. My windows were terrible with overspray. I tried a small spot first and was amazed. I ended up doing all the glass including the landing light lense.
Mothers sells a clay bar kit consisting of: 2 clay bars, a bottle of spray, and a micro fiber cloth for about $20. I got mine on sale for $12.
My windows haven't looked this nice since they were new. Try it. You'll be done with the windshield in about 10 minutes if your taking your time.
Good Luck,
Tom

Fowled Up Canopy Klub. I thought about starting a newsletter with stories, T-shirts with F U C K on the front. I wouldn’t only be the President of the Klub - - - I built a spray booth in the shop with filters and such. We will see how much gets out.

Thanks for coming up and showing me what works.
He was good enough to come for a cup of coffee and show me how well the clay bar works.
TOMW and Backcountry Bob thanks also.
Have used it on a couple of other plastic windows and it is great.
It also took a little of the haze from of the windshield also.
Thanks Everyone.
