Black Wow on Glass

A couple of weeks ago I polished up my plastic with some Black Wow. While I was at it, I also put a little on the black plastic of my MINI roof rack. Later that night it rained and some of the Black Wow ran down onto my windows and now I am having a hard time removing it. Is there any thing that can get this off? I know the bottle said to avoid windows, I just didn't expect it to run. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Depending on how much is on the glass, a really clean microfibre cloth might pick it up. Failing that, I think OG would tell you to use Isopropyl Alcohol, but you should PM him for confirmation.

It only runs when you over apply it.

A little bit of glass cleaner like Clarity works great. Simple Green also works and use less BW next time.

Yeah, 2nd on Clarity. It also removes it from the paint if you slip a little when applying.
