Scrubber brush with lacquer thinner.

patience with good lighting. I usually start with a Qtip dip in lacquer, clean close to the edges, then toothpicks to scrape of more stubborn areas. Then with another Qtip rewipe. Then buff it shiny with dry Qtip.  works for me.

I use a small, thin paintbrush dipped in lacquer thinner, really good lighting, a magnifying head visor to aid my old eyes, and a lot of patience  .  I have to go over it a number of times, but it works well.  I finish it off with a Q-tip to buff the final film off the glass.

Also, if you only use water based acrylics, Windex usually works well due to the ammonia.  Less toxic than lacquer thinner.

If you want real clean, then you need a pair of these. Opit-visor.

With water base paints, I use windex and cotton balls, pull the cotton out and using a modeling tool, you can get all the small areas without rubbing the paint

Eye protect ; peels very easy off the eye when done.

You can use Freeman wax release. Use a paint brush to paint the wax release on the majority of the eyes and then take a smaller paint brush with a pointed tip to get close to the eyelids. Just use a thin coat, it doesn't have to be caked on. Do your painting and after it dries you can wipe the eyes with a tissue paper or a thin cloth and then wrap your tissue over a thin tucking tool get around the edges. And then dip a Q-tip in Acetone and swab the eye quick and wipe off with tissue. Try it on a eye before installing just to see if this works for you and it doesn't have to be freeman wax release. It can be anything that you can apply a thin coat and won't stick to the eye. Just experiment with it.

Yep...that Opti-visor's a necessity for a lot of my final detailing (and fine-detail sewing).

Put a layer of mold builder over the glass, paint away then peel off.
