Road Paint - FML!

Alright so apparently they painted the road leading to my work a few weeks back and I drove in the lane without knowing...now I have white paint splatter on the side of the car.

What is the best way to remove this with scratching anything etc? I wanted to check in here first as im sure there are some nice painless solutions available.

Thankfully this was right before I bought new wheels so the factory tires/rims had the pleasure of going through some white paint before being removed.

Sorry to hear that, those kind of things make you sick. I would recommend using a clay bar & clay lube. Best method IMO. About 10 years ago my mustang gt got covered in overspray from staining a fence on a windy day (not my brightest moment). Took it to a detail shop, they used the clay bar every last spec came off. I've been using that ever since.

You might as well clay bar your entire car & follow with a coat of wax, you won't be disappointed with the results.

a good detailer should be able to buff it out. DO NOT let them buff the entire car if you decide this.
