Default Road paint issue... turn into insurance?

Of course, on the GMC that's 2 years old I've got some white spray paint from the roads. What should I do here, take it where? I may just turn it into insurance. What would you do?

Why cant this happen on the beater LX that has gigantic mud flaps.....



In the wheel well too:

Try some tar remover on the painted or shiny surfaces.....but I wouldn't recommend tar remover on soft, vinyl, or cladded surfaces...it might fade or discolor it.

Take it to a detailer. This is no big deal at all. Certainly nothing to turn into insurance.

That's about 10 min max with a super light cut polish and a mid pad at most, heck you may be able to clay that off...
