now this won't be what you think it is when you read the subject of the topic, not to go into too much detail, but I've managed to smack my macbook against the inside of my drivers window, and its chipped the silver paint off the corner of it and left the paint on the window, and i can't get it off... any ideas ? cheers guys !

Careful use of new Stanley knife blade, use it with washing up liquid.

It does sound worrying if you've never scraped paint off glass before but I've done it loads of times, glass is harder than steel and won't leave a mark if everything is clean. Just don't cut yourself! :)

I don't think I'd fancy trying the Stanley blade suggestion myself...try rubbing it with some IPA and if that doesn't work you could even try going over it with a clay bar and/or some glass polish. :yes:

haha sounds more appealing, but since I'm an idiot, what do you mean by IPA? I'm guessing you're not referring to indian pale ale :hyper:
