I have some old paint and sealant, that needs removing from my windows, what is the best stuff for this…without scratching!

I have tried with a flat scraper but its not that good.

To get rid of old sealant, its best to use a stanley knife and cut both edges, then try and grab a bit of the sealant at the corner, and pull, and it should come off.

When you say paint on your windows......., can you just clarify a bit more?, do you mean paint on the glass?, or paint on the frames?, are they wood, or PVC?
 
You need a razor sharp scraper that comes in 4 and 6 inch. Angled head made by Hamilton.
