Default Splashed paint

Someone leaving a paint store lost a gallon of white paint making a nice long stripe. Numerous vehicles drove thru it so by the time I got to it it was spread out in one lane. Traffic was heavy so I could not avoid it. It can be scratched off with my fingernails which will take some time and a few cold beverages. Any ideas?

I've taken a pressure washer to street paint with good success. Shallow angle (about 15º), 6 inches from the panel. A foot for plastic panels.

Clay bar will probably remove it.

I had a kid run through a yellow fresh painted lines. Grr, no doubt. I bought this stuff at Walmart, absolutely fantastic. Got paint off body, tires, treads, can't say how impressed I was, and eco friendly as well.

WD-40 or goof off will take it right off. Give her a good wash and wax after

Take it to a detailer and let them get it off.

I think there are 2 different goof offs: one is water based and the other is solvent, please read the label carefully! Maybe a tar remover?

WD-40 or rubbing alcohol. Then put a good buff/wax job on it.
