Default Overspray on windows

I am in need of some good tips to remove overspray from all of the windows of the car, both sides. I'm a little leery of using a razor blade on the rear window.

wont the steel wool leave scratches though? i'm sure i should use 0000, but i was worried about it leaving scratches. I'm assuming just the acetone and nothing else on the rear window by the defroster lins?

The reason you use 0000 steel wool is because it doesn't scratch glass.

Super helpful to remove water spots but very tedious.

Since 0000 doesnt scratch the glass, do you think it safe to try over top of the defroster lines? Or should i abandon that idea?

I kinda had a feeling that would be the case. Definitely trying to avoid doing that AGAIN with this car.
