Default Paint On Freeway=paint droplets all over my car!!

So I thought at first I had a lot of dust and dirt on my car after leaving it outside for a whole week while my driveway was being done . I take it to the car wash and, well im not sure when it happend, but i know i was going fast so it must have been the freeway. . . but i must have hit a puddle of wet paint that someone must have dropped on the freeway cuz i now have a new paint job in my wheel wells, side skirts and along the front fenders, doors, and rear quarters, and it just had to be WHITE!!!! Now i have all these little white specs of paint on my black car and white splash marks on the sideskirts. I cant believe this happend. It abosolutely sucks... Im having a detailer look at it tomorow and hopefully it can be fixed. but it makes me want to kick the A** of whoever didnt clean up the paint. I mean at least hundreds if not thousands of dollars are gonna be spent with other peoples cars as well trying to get this paint out. I mean its even in the tire tread!!

They were painting the lines on my street a few months ago and overspray got all over my bumper. I just used claybar and it was gone. Good luck with your detailer.

I had that happen to me once. It was everywhere: clearbra, hood, roof, etc., but it wasn't paint. I'm not sure exactly what the heck it was, some kind of epoxy cement or something, and even claybar wouldn't take it off. Finally one day I tried 97% Isopropyl Alcohol which you can buy just about anywhere, and it came right off. Problem is Alcohol dulls clearbra so I had to buff it out afterwards.

Clay bar should take care of it. Hope you had a decent amount of wax on there.
