paint splatter

So i lend my car to my little brother and it seems like he drove over some wet paint on the road and the whole side of my car has small little white paint dots. I can sorta scuff them off with my nail but i know that its not the correct way of doing it. so i want to know what can i use to take off these spots.

Wash the car, and then hit it with a clay bar. That should do the trick.

Actually, being that it's sitting on the clear coat, a good washing may take some of the speckles off. You might also try some RainX Bug and Tar Remover.

But anything those two don't grab the clay bar should handle.

FWIW, the longer you wait, the harder it will be to get the paint off with clay bar.
