paint on my paint
well here is my problem...where i work at the painted some kind of tanks white of all colors. and they could not just roll the paint on they had to spray it. so now i have white paint specks all over one side of my car. i tried to wash them off, some came off but you have to rub so hard. is there a wax or something that will take the paint off my paint.
be careful how hard you rub -- what are you using to rub so hard? you'll end up putting a bunch of nice scratches in your clearcoat. use a claybar or a cleaner wax, or a polish (no compound)!
Surely the company you work for, or the people who sprayed the paint are responsible for removing the paint, or paying for its removal. There are probably other people who's cars were parked near yours that suffered the same fate.

Wow read my mind, I was going to do the same post as I have run into the very same problem. I was driving home while they were painting under an over pass and got over spray all over my car. The detail shop estimated with out looking at it and only after I told them I was going to either claim it on insurance or that contractor would pay for it about $800 dollars. They were talking about using a clay bar or possibly wet sanding or using a compound. The question I have is should I let them wet sand or use the compound on my brand new crossfire or will that ruin the clear coat. Someone once told me once you break the seal your pretty much screwed for cleaning and waxing.

Hmmm...paint on car. Oh, wait, paint thinner! Try this just be careful not to use too much. You might risk your clearcoat. If you don't want to go that chemically aggressive, use mineral spirits and try that out first. Use car wash soap as lube so you don't scratch the paint.

it will not harm the factory painted finish... but... only use this product on the metal body panels... not on any plastic parts: bumpers, rocker panels or mirrors.
apply/pour the product on a towel and rub back-n-forth lightly... allowing the product to do the work... not all elbow grease. after the overspray is removed... you will need to polish (non-adhesive) the surfaces to remove any fine scratches... then wax.
i had owned a high-line detailing business for over 10 years... we provided overspray removal to about 25 cars... that were affected while in a parking lot during the painting of the adjacent building.
Zymol makes a special clay bar just for this, but you've got to lie to them to get it, here's why. Its so strong that they only sell it to pros, so just tell them you are and you'll get it. Its not to be used on your average detail, only when you get something serious on your ride, good luck and make sure you follow those directions closely. FWIW, I don't have one...yet.
