Find out who done it then kill them. Twice.

Get him to agree to paying the bill and take it to a detailing place. Why should you have to spend your own time cleaning this persons mess!

This ^^^^ Your risking scratching the hell out of your paint with clay, especially if you're unfamiliar with what you're doing. Being professional detailer, after claying a vehicle I always machine polish because claying will almost always introduce some micro marring into the paint. You having a white vehicle will not notice it nearly as much as you would on a darker color, but depending on the type of paint that is all over your car could make it a nightmare to remove.

I have no idea if its safe or not, but it seemed fine to me....

Last summer my little brother moved to NY and left his 03 Maxima here. I left it parked outside the shop for a couple months and one evening someone spray painted all over it.

I took a can of PB Blaster and sprayed it on a paper towel, and wiped the paper towel on the car and it just wiped that spray paint right off. I saw no signs of it damaging the paint/clear on the car, and the car actually looked really good afterwords!

Maybe some google research is due about whether or not its bad for the paint (since its an automotive repair supply, im sure plenty have asked about it)... but if its not bad.. it made easy work of it. Less than 5 minutes and I had the car all cleaned up... headlights too.

I almost think you've quoted the wrong post. I didn't see it suggested that this 'detailer' ought to use clay. I agree with you for not claying, but a pro like yourself knows that, so maybe it should been specified it be taken to 'a detailer who can find his a** with less than two hands", or maybe the correct term is professional detailer. If I'm not paying, it's going to the guy I use. If I didn't do it I'm sure as **** not fixing it on my dollar unless I can do it better.

Personally, I would go back to the place where it was parked & find out who the contractor was & file a claim as they are liable & should have insurance. I am sure that other cars were effected as well. I had this happen a number a years ago at the place I was working. Contractor sprayed the whole parking lot full of cars. They were able to have a detailer fix some of the cars, but ones like mine that would not come clean, got a check to be repainted.

Good luck to you

Haven't updated anyone In a while but I was able to remove it with a clay bar. It took for eeeeeever. There was so much paint junk that I ended up using about 3 clay bars for the whole car because they kept turning white even when I mixed it around. Turns out some overspray made it up to the front so I just clayed the while car. Thanks again for all the advice.. I was about to wet sand it before I made this thread lol.
