"Glitter, while pretty, can be very annoying if you don't want it on your clothes, your body or in your hair. In some cases it can seem almost impossible to remove it. While removing glitter from can be difficult, it is not impossible if you know how..."

seems that car wash soap could help there in good quantity... try to identify clearly first what product exactly it is... or try the tape method... maybe duck tape

Too bad his truck isn't made of skin or cloth.

I'd start off with a pressure washer at a car wash, trying to aim most of it across the hood, then just keep working at it. I wouldn't use a sponge until almost all of it is gone, becuse it may scratch. On the bright side, looks like you keep it well waxed which will help.

That really sucks, but it does look kind of cool? (I'd be really pissed, though.)

Did you check the stripper forum. That's a daily problem for them.

Seriously though...lol.

Shop-Vac that crap off first! Then spot wash it.

Careful not to scratch the paint.

BTW, who did you **** off?

A pressure washer would be my first choice. Start high and work your way down. Or leave it on there and call it modern art.
And I guess somebody is just jealous of your sweet ride.
