Default spray paint on new glasses

:rant:

Whats a safe way to remove some spray paint specks without hurting the lens or the coating? I'm going to try that lens cleaner stuff they gave me, but I doubt that's going to do anything to the paint. :sad:

ack ack ack...

Don't use paint thinner on glasses. You can possibly ruin the lenses. The material is not made to handle that harsh a chemical.

Don't use a razor blade either.

Start with non-acetone nail polish remover or alcohol... then move to acetone nail polish remover. If that doesn't help, take them back to your optometrist and have them take care of it.

clay bar.

Don't use a razor. Polycarbonate won't shatter, but it's not the hardest surface in the world.
