That would likely happen of the pressure spray were used on the back side of the modules.

The moment you feel burrs stop & replace the razor as the burrs will scratch the glass. Also keep the surface always wet with a soapy solution [surfactant] to keep the surface slick & this extends the short life of a razors edge. Use a razor handle to hold the blade & keep a first aid kit available. Soapy water & razor blades have interesting incidents.

They were using a latex water-based exterior paint. Are there any mild solvents you might recommend to help clean this up? Or just elbow grease?
