It does a good job of getting those little flakes off. I'm not done doing that yet but I don't even notice it when I walk in and out. If you are particular at all that may be an issue!

I used the paper method (just slid it around behind the grid wherever I was painting). If it makes you feel any better, it sounds like it was a little less work than your doors, but it was still a pain in the butt and I still had to do a little scraping off the glass!
