Regarding the paint overspray on canopy:
I had some of this. Mine was light in my opinion. It was easily seen
through but it was there. I soaked a cloth in kerosene and laid that on the
area for a few hours and then used my finger nail and a plastic scraper and
was able to carefully and gentlely remove all of it without damage to the
canopy. I had another area on my canopy that I purposely lightly sanded and
thoroughly painted. Later I needed to remove that paint. I used the
sanding, and polishing system sold by ACS. It was a lot of work but it did
the job. I can see a bit of distortion in looking through the glass now
that it is all done.

You could try methanol. TEST FIRST. You can cloud up polycarbonite easily.

I would think Acetone would work. I use it to clean my eye glasses.

I was reading recently in an aviation magazine. I can't remember which one
but I think it was Kitplanes. The three solutions they said not to use were:
Acetone, Lacquer Thinner and window cleaner (which has ammonia in it).
