Any suggestions for removing dried paint splatter from car?
 
I noticed my wife's car had a few black spots on the back a few weeks ago. Figured it would just tar. After washing it this morning I've come to the conclusion it's paint. I tried cleaner wax, rubbing compound, and Goof Off with zero results. Any other suggestions. There are probably a dozen spots ranging from specs to a few the size of a pencil eraser. Suggestions?

wet sand and then polish?

She will never know if you don't tell her and if you do, she will be sure that you were the one who drive through the paint.

Clay bar. Be sure to use a lubricant with it so as to not damage the paint.

Use a product called "Prep-sol"

+1 on clay bar. BTDT - it works when nothing else will.

Clay bar wont take off a dried pencil eraser sized spot of paint.....Clay bar works for light over-spray, and all those tiny nits that adhere themselves to your paint..

Prep-Sol might work depending how old the paint is... i.e. are they fairly fresh or well cured....

Might need to cut with some compound...

Or better yet pretend you didn't see them

I pretty much agree with all of the above. Can't see clay touching this. I can't remove the smallest one with my fingernail. Think I've got some Prep-Sol out in the garage somewhere. I'll try that. I really hate the thought of wet sanding all of these spots... well, not so much the wet sanding as the polishing afterwards.

I would take the car to a local body/paint shop that you trust and have them take care of it.
