So my ***hole neighbor is remodeling his house, and some how (don't know how, because if i did he would hear about it) managed to get small specs of white paint all over my car. I can scratch them off with my nail, but there are soo many i don't feel like taking off thousands of them. My question is, is there an applicator or something of that sort that i can use with a rag to get this paint off? Obviously something that won't damage the clear coat. Any help would be appreciated. And to all the funny folk, yea yea paint thiner. :P

If they're larger than that, then a solvent is probably the way to go, followed by a good wash and re-wax.

3rd the clay. Don't buy clay lubricant, just use your normal car shampoo and water.

I think I used too much shampoo in the mix.

Anyway, the clay started coming apart in tiny chunks as I worked it and it was less effective than when I used a QD with it.

I think I'll stick to using a cheap QD like Megs or something.

Thanks guys, but what about getting the specs off the windows?

you might start with warm/hot water on a sponge, since it's prolly latex paint and might not have set up yet.

If it has, try a product like WD-40 or Goo Gone, a mild solvent. Or even some heavy applications of Windex or similar.

Fingernail scraping is also a possibility.

As you're doing this, think of nice ways to explain to your neighbor the relationship of the concepts "wind" and "drift" to "painting." Here in LA, contractors/painters are fairly paranoid because they've gotten busted, so the first thing they do when starting on a job is to envelop all nearby cars in plastic.

...after you've filled the clay bar with crud from the paint.
