Hi, I stupidly sprayed my wing mirror while it was still attached to the car. Obviously I got some off the spray paint and lacquer on my passenger window. What's the best way to get it off?
Cheers

Fresh razor blade and gently scrape it off would be my choice

Surely the wing mirror (cover) is only about £30, if you can’t be faffed with all that.
I could ask ‘Do you need a mirror on an Audi?’, but I assume you are atypical.

If it's still fairly fresh thinners & cloths - or paper kitchen towel - will work.

I doubt it has a wing mirror unless it's a 70s model.
Standard thinners will get it off.
