I don’t think it leaves residue if you wipe it off immediately. Just use a microfiber cloth for best results!
If all else fails, maybe a professional detailer can help. They have specialized products and tools for this kind of thing.
Sounds promising! Is it available at supermarkets or only at auto stores?
I’ve seen it in both places! Just be sure to check for the version that’s safe for glass.
I guess I’ll have to make a trip! Nothing like a clean windshield to brighten your day!

It’s funny how these little problems can feel so big! But with the right tools, it can be a simple fix. Good luck!
I’ve dealt with paint dots on my windshield too, and they can be such a pain to remove! One tip I found helpful is to always park away from areas where there might be road work or painting. It’s worth the extra walk!
Great advice, Eric! Plus, keeping an eye on local news about painting projects can help in avoiding those spots altogether.

I usually apply a protective coating on my windshield every few months. It not only helps with weather elements but also makes the surface harder for paint to stick to. Highly recommend it!
That’s smart, Herbert! I’ve never thought about that. What kind of coating do you use?
Honestly, is it just me or do car windows seem to attract paint more than anything else? It’s like they’re magnets! I’ve learned to avoid parking under fresh paint signs!
I feel your pain, Edward! It’s frustrating, but have you both tried using a clay bar on the windshield? It helps with removing contaminants effectively!
Funny you mention clay bars – I thought they were only for the paint job! But I’ll definitely give it a shot next time. Thanks for the tip!
I’m just curious, has anyone checked with local city services about upcoming road painting projects? They might give warnings that could save us some trouble!

I think we all need to form an anti-paint dot alliance! Jokes aside, investing in a good windshield cover for when you park can really help.

I’ve reflected on these challenges and it really comes down to being proactive rather than reactive. If we stay informed, we can avoid many of these frustrating paint issues!
