Idiot painting on the streets HELP!!!!!!

Hey guys, I was driving my 02 True Blue L. to work and I see this guy with a paint spray can (white) spraying the streets making the divider lines. Before I pass him on my L. he decides to spray the floor a little and some wind picks up and i feel like i got it all over my truck. I pull over and check the truck and notice i got a few dots of paint on my truck. I quickly run to the guy and tell him wat an idiot he is and this and that. I got all of his info and he is paying for the damages. My question is, is their a way i could clean it myself? With a buff or some sort of wax? Some of the dots came of pretty easy with a towel and some were kind of sticky to the paint!! Any suggestions I want to do it myself and i am still going to charge him something!

That sucks but fear not even it he oversprayed the entire truck you can get it off.

As said Clay Bar is the first order of business... "if" your not familar with that

you can get it at ANY Auto Store for 20.00

You simply work an area at a time, wet it all up with the Spray Detailer, hold the Clay Bar in your hand and start rubbing. Do the whole truck and when it's done you'll feel the finish and say to yourself, WHY DONT I DO THIS MORE OFTEN
(I clay Bar Mine almost everytime I wax it)

Your OK, now go wax your truck

Just as a heads up 3M make a graffiti remover designed to remove paint from a painted surface, haven't used it in a few years but it worked great.

No worries...

It will come right off but the sooner you get to it the easier it will be to get off.

It's actually a 1973 Tahiti 16' Torino, a knock off of a 16' Sidewinder Super Sport.

Damm, sure looked like an old Glasstron. I do love the old speed boats.
I sold mine about three years ago, had it for 12 years, kept her in the garage .. I am now thinking about getting an old pickle-fork hydro...
