Need help removing paint
this morning walked to my car and about to go work, then i saw this on my car.
I parked it on the street right in front of my house.
I buffed off that big paint spot but there are a lots of small dot every even on my window and every where in the rear of my car. I wondering if anyone know how to remove those paint dots.
Where can I get security camera for my car where I dont need to turn on my car to record.
thanks

Makes me thankful for my garage.
Unless you have some experience in these things, I would take it to a shop that does. Someone who knows what they are doing may charge you some money but if they do it right, it will disappear.

It really depends on the type of paint that was sprayed on your car. If it is spray paint, you may have gotten lucky. Either way, I would avoid using any abrasives to remove the spots until I have tried every other option. The best option is to consult a professional, but if you want to do it yourself, here are my thoughts. The sooner you address it, the better.
I'd first start with washing with car soap, then washing with dish soap. I'd even try all purpose cleaner or bug and tar remover, or Goo Gone. Even try Iso-Propyl Alcohol and maybe acetone.
Top Tip, I have heard and seen that the oils in carnauba wax will dissolve and remove spray paint.
Another option is tying a clay bar to remove the paint from the surface, and there are so many different levels of "aggressiveness" for clay bars.
My last resort would be a polish or rubbing compound. I'd leave that to the professional. This will more than likely remove the self restoration clear coat on the car, but the red paint should be all removed at this point.
Good luck, and keep us posted. Seriously try the carnauba wax!

Generally lacquer thinner will work but test it on a small and least conspicuous area first to see if it pulls paint. Be warned lacquer thinner is very hard on hands and eats through most latex gloves. You could just polish that off with a medium cut polish, I would do it by hand not machine.

Yeah I don't see there personally being a reason you can't get it off... I'm no expert, and like Lexus2000 said, I can imagine a wetsand / polish on your paint being able to remove that since it's material on top of the paint. Just make sure you have someone that knows that kind of work to do it before you have someone burn through your clear and base coat.

For the windows, try the clay bar, and if that does not work, maybe try a razor blade. I've always been too scared to take a razor blade to my windows, but supposedly it works.
Any after pics? I'm curious to see how well that 3M compound works.
