We just moved into a new home. Our exterior windows have a misting of
what would appear to be lacquer sprayed on the outsides of them. Most
likely when the painters were staining and finishing the woodwork with
the windows open in the house.

What would be the best method for removing this residue?


Scrap with a singe edge razor or wipe with lacquer thinner or acetone. My
guess it that it is not lacquer but polyurethane.
