How to remove cement glue from car model

[TooShea]

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to remove my finger print from the windshield without damaging it. I am new to building car models and I could use the help.

No bull. Depending on how deep the fingerprints (or scratches) are, you can start with 400 or 600 grit paper WET until you can't feel the damage with your fingernail any more. Then jump to 3200 wet, 6000 wet, 8000 wet and finally 12,000 wet...just like you're sanding a paint job. A very fine polishing compound will bring the new factory gloss and clarity back.....if you do it right. I promise.

Use PLENTY of water and change it and swill out the container every time you change grits of sandpaper.

Use some kind of sanding block too, as un-supported paper will make all kinds of waves in your 'glass'.

By the way....I've made some poorly made, wavy kit windshields look great by block-sanding them to take the waves out, and then finishing out as described above.

THE BEST TRICK IS TO NOT GET ANY GLUE ON THE WINDOWS. Read the thread below about gluing windows.

Will do, thank you

Get yourself some windshield glue and you'll never have to worry about ruining your windows again. If you do happen to get this glue on a piece of your glass,you can wash it off easily before it dries. Plain old Elmers glue will work also.
