Some little sts sprayed the back of my girl friends van. Just a couple days before she planned to put it up for sale as well. Any tips/advice to remove?

That black stripe? It will only be thing, and not lacquered, it will come off with decent polish and elbow grease (or a polisher). Polish, not wax (but wax after if you want). Meguiars 105/205 but if you are in a hurry T-Cut will do it.

My mate used to paint cars, if he had a problem in the paint he would spray black over it lightly then polish out the high spots, all the black comes off after.

will wipe off with a rag and cellulose thinners

that assuming its factory or a decent repaint ...if the van has been rattle canned then it will take that off too

if youre scared any bodyshop or valeter will get it off in minutes for little cost

Cheers for that, didn’t realise it should be fairly simple to remove.

Claybar is good for getting it off easily without damage
