OOO steel wool will do.

Need some powerful stuff that won't destroy the windows or paint.

Try rubbing alcohol...............

I tried rubbing alcohol didn't do shet. Then I used Acetone, which took some of it off. So instead I went back with a exacto-knife blade and used that. Tomarrow I'm going to get more acetone from my fathers company to get the minor ones off. Just don't know what to do about the windshield wipers and other black plastic parts or rubber parts. Should I just use Acetone on those as well?

be very careful with acetone...they will take our paint right off.

use WD-40 on windshield wipers and rubber parts.

Are those OEM non-Brembo calipers you painted red? That would be the definition of rice. Should've just asked your parents to buy you a BBK...
