Paint splashes
Discussion
Unfortunately it looks as though the family wagon has caught some 'drift' from nearby buiding works and the back sides and roof are covered in small white dots of emulsion paint. I have had a tentative go with a fingernail but they are not coming off, even from the glass. The car is a Mitsubishi Outlander which scratches ridiculously easiy (paint too thin in my view). Before I attack it with T-cut/clay bar I would appreciate any members sage words on how best to get it off with least risk to underlying paint work.

Instead of you doing it, maybe best inform the painter and ask them what they want to do about it?Say you do it and make the job a whole lot worse resulting in a respray, yet the company that splashed it now say that it was £100 fix, thats all they will give you and you can pay the rest cause you damaged it?

Unfortunately I did not notice until the builders had moved on. It is likely to be more hassle than it is worth to pursue them for it and I am hoiping that there is a relatively easy fix. If not I may have to take it to a valet company to see what they can do.
again... you care enough about your car to do 1 of 2 things... check with who was doing work to get in contact with painters (how long ago did you not notice white paint on windows, etc)... or pay for it yourself and suck it up.you sound like you have already decided number 2... they might give advice on how to remove it yourself or they might charge... but I would still go after the painters first.
