About a week ago my sister was spaypainting in front of my car.( real smart right ) When the wind came up some of the white paint blew on to my car and now i have very faint white spots. I have waxed the car once already to remove the spots but with not much luck. I need help and ideas to get rid of the spots. Please Help!

ooo...bad luck. There are many chemicals that could take off spray paint, but off course the it probably would damage the paint. You say there are faint small spots? You may try some dilluted terpetine, I thinks that how its spelled, or mineral spirits. You could probably find this at a hardware store; my mom uses it to clean oil paints of of her pallet (shes an artist). This is just a suggestion, I've never had to do something like this before. Good Luck

Get some clay bar from napa/autozone etc etc. Usually McQuires has it, but any claybar for a car works well. You will need to wax after though cause it takes all the wax off too.

1 wash car
2 little car/water mix in spray bottle
3 spray area, then use claybar to remove.

Usually they have pretty good instructions.

Like Blown 65 said, get and use claybar. If you can't find it get some Meguires #9, 26, and the carnuba wax (i forget what # it is) and use this three step system. The #9 is a harsh enough abrasive to take off the spraypaint and some other light scratches you may have. And the 26 will polish it up more before the wax. Even after the claybar I reccomend the meguire's glaze then the wax to give the car a real shine and deep wet look.
