Razor blade + petroleum based solvent like "oops" that will lubricate the blade. Use a 15 degree angle or a scraper. It is very safe.

Any other methods? Kinda worried to do it seeing that it's a 100% brand new car.

Took it to get washed and the wash left slightly noticeable dots of wax all over the windshields and windows

Use a razor blade with a lubricant like FMX said and stop being a pussy.

Every window in your house was cleaned with a 3 dollar plastic scraper and windex before the original owners moved in. You really have to fuck it up to scratch glass.

Pretty much. The only way it will happen is if you press to hard and catch on an imperfection in the glass. In which case it will bend and then cause scratches at the corners of the razorblades

you should have ask if they had any Detailer's that play d2 west ;-p

start with the clay, you'll end up using it on your car anyway, just break/pull off a small piece, I use Meguiar's products but get my clay from a company in San Diego cause I use medium cut and reg cut clay but have used the white Meguiar's before, just use losts of water , dont use the spray that comes with the clay on your windows , just the painted body

you can get this stuff at walmart or most auto parts stored like autozone,pep boys ect

Hi, I detail cars at a major dealership.
There are plenty of ways to get that off.
The step i would take are..

1. Get a bottle of glass cleaner and scrape with a fresh razor, nearly impossible to scratch windshield
2. Clay baring does work but if u are going to claybar that one spot you might as well do all your windows to make them flawless.
3. Acid bath... not a general way but works if done correctly.
