Thanks all! We're working on getting in touch with someone from
the module manufacturer who can tell us something substantive
before proceeding.<br>

soap and water ( manufacturer approved) and a nylon scrubby pad
will cure the problem.<br>

Hi Wrenches,<br>
<br>
We have an existing customer who just had their house
repainted, and the painter oversprayed significantly
on a row of modules. I haven't run into this
particular problem before, and am at a bit of a loss
about what to recommend to our customer for cleaning
up this mess.<br>
<br>
Anyone have recommendations of cleaning products or
techniques to use that won't damage the AR coatings or
anything else on the module, yet will remove paint? Or
for that matter, what to avoid?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
