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

mild soap and water ( manufacturer approved) and a nylon

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>
