When the car was sprayed it must of got laquer oversprayed onto rear window somehow.
You can tell by it doesnt shine and you can sorta feel it how would i go about removing this not gonna sand my window so would something like white spirit do this?

use a razor blade to get the worst off if its on the outside being careful not to scratch it then polish up with g3 or something similiar or you can buy oversray 3m putty looks like blue rubber rubbed over the overspray takes it off

Yeah - just use a blade then a mild/aggressive clay after. Then just use some glass polish or light cut polish by hand to refine the marring.

I'd just use thinners. Keep rubbing it in then should come off easily.

White spirits for household paint I.E emulsion.
Thinners is for car paint. About £3 for a small tin from local auto factors. If your car has fresh paint be careful around it.

That's what I'd use.
Although Halfords is a bit expensive.
Nitromoors is lethal stuff, stings on your hands like mad. If you did use it wear latex.

I would go for the paint scraper method myself... you can get one for windoes from B&Q for next to nothing then there is no chance of you getting thinners on your paint

That will do the trick..
Failing that, trick of the trade..
Buy some hob brite for halogen hob cookers.
We use it to bring up scratched or hazy Glass on older cars.
Its a cheaper equivalent to diamond setters paste.
