If you use a fabric softener sheet with a spray bottle of water you can wash the dried ones off pretty easy without "F"ing the paint. dont know but I assume that a light mix of liquid fabric softener with water would work as well. DONT let the solution dry on the car, wash with clear water after.

They're here on the treasure coast too... not yet in full force, give it a couple of days.
