How do you distinguish graffiti paint from scratches on glass?
A photograph or quick glance may not establish the cause of a mark. Paint can sit on the exposed surface, while a scratch or etching changes the glass itself. Damage to films and coatings can also resemble residue, and attempting to remove it as paint may worsen the area.

Assessment considers location, appearance, available glazing information and the response to appropriate controlled cleaning. Manufacturer guidance matters where treatments are exposed. If the cause remains uncertain, that uncertainty should be resolved rather than escalating abrasion or chemicals.
Cleaning can address suitable paint deposits but cannot reverse etching, polish out scratches or repair damaged film. Further glazing advice may be needed for defects. Share when the mark appeared and any previous attempts to remove it so the proposed exterior cleaning has realistic boundaries.
