Default How to remove paint from my car

What is the easiest way to remove paint splash from my car? I guess I ran over some spilled paint or freshly painted lines on the road and now I have white paint all over my black car.

Start out with a clay bar.

Default Then start with a very fine abrasive and work up

You pretty much want to stick to "paint cleaner" products, as glazes are often physically abrasive where paint cleaners are more solvent based.

I would start with Pinnacle Cleansing lotion, see if it does anything. If not work up to something more harsh.
Meguiars #2 Fine cut cleaner, should work alittle better.
If after that it still is there, use 3M Rubbing compound, but make sure to be careful.

I would follow it up with a mild glaze to prevent any possible hazing caused by it.

Default I would start with a solvent first like toluene, if that doesn't work then you can brute force it
