Tips - to remove Latex white paint off side of car?

Living down here in New Orleans, there is debris all over the place. Apparently I rolled over some fresh white paint and it sprayed all over the side of my car. I used GOOF OFF and it was working, but I am wondering if something not so harsh will remove it thanks.

I've always used a product called Bug & Tar Remover, don't rememebr who makes it though. It really cuts through tar and other stubborn stains. Never has damaged my paint though immediately after I use it I wash the area with soap and water just in case.

look for 3M wax and adhesive remover. stuff works great. use a little bit and rub it into the paint. make sure your waxing the car after doing this; this stuff is pretty powerful and it pretty much strips all the wax.

You could also heat it up with a heat gun and peel the paint off. That's what they're designed for. Or wait for a hot sunny day and peel it off.

That may be fine there but not on a painted surface.

The same thing happened to me. I sat there for like 2 hours and just got it off with my fingernails.
