Damn, that f*ckin sucks man. +1 on the claybar. It really does wonders. Maybe try some rubbing compound after and finish with a polish then wax

that detailer is a fckin douche, take it elsewhere.

Definitely agree on the claybar. Also, 3M makes an adhesive remover (get it from pepboys) that is safe for car paint and can probably take off your fresh layer of white paint. Worst comes to worst u can wetsand it out... but you will need a porter cable to buff it back to shine.

claybar should do the trick for that, worse comes worse some light wet sanding will get rid of it all and being careful or letting a experianced detailer do the job will lead to a great result and you will not have to repaint anything.

Like most have said try clay bar. If I remember right it says that it removes paint overspray. Though your "overspray" isn't car paint, it should work. I know it worked for me.

If the clay bar doesnt work, try a body shop. They can wet sand that off and, depending on how thick your clearcoat is, you may not need a repaint. If you do, it should only be the clearcoat anyways...

As said, Claybar. It will remove it. Take it from someone who drives in an area where they dont mark roads that are freshly painted. If you can find where it was done at you can go after that county. They will usually give you reimbursment without going through courts or anything.

I have used a claybar many many times. How do you think they get rid of overspray when they paint a body part...Just remeber you need to rewax afterwards.

Another thing you can try is Ooops or goo-b-gone. Put it on a terry cloth and rub away. It shoudltn hurt the paint(never ever has on any car iv used it on) but test it first. Its an adhesive remover, but not a paint remover...

I think wax will take some of it out but not all. You will probably have to repaint. good luck bro

That happened to my WRX once luckily it wasn't that bad. I saw it before I ran over it and was able to go around it. It was alot of paint to looked like someone spilled a few of those huge buckets of house paint all over.

The funny thing was that I slowed down and there was a blue van behind me that got pissed off I was slowing down so he passed me and went through the paint fast and it splashed all the way up to his windows.

I was able to get all of it off my car, but somehow I have a feeling the van probably didn't.
