How to remove dried paint splashes from car?
How would i remove dried paint spots from my car? It happened from wet paint on the road, like newly painted dividers or crosswalk lines or something. It splashed onto the side of my car. It's been there for a while, thought id ask what would help take it off.

Wash/dry the car, then use a claybar with either soapy water or a quick detailer. I like the Mother's California Gold Claybar you can get anywhere (wal-mart, autozone, etc.)

I had the same thing happen to my car. It was white paint. After a good wash & using Zaino claybar it was all gone. It took a while to get it all off though.

If it's not under clear coat, clay bar will take it off. Like fuzzy said, though, it may take a while to get it all off.

Also, try "Goof Off", it's sold at Home Depot, Walmart, Lowes. Very good stuff to have around.

"The Goof Off brand family of products includes a wide assortment of removers, ... This well-known solvent product removes dried paint as well as adhesive, ..."
