OK, unsuspecting late driving me got hit last night on the freeway with what seems to be a light tan paint. All over the front bumper/hood/mirrors/windshield tiny little specs. One by one they can be removed via-finger nail but that only flew for a very short time.

Anyone know of a good way to remove this? I had a good deal of wax on the surface so its not too stuborn. I've heard of "clay bars", I do have some bug/tar remover and abrasive deatail wax. Whats the best way to approach this?

Much thanks in advance ! laugh

A good once over with a clay bar and spray will also do the trick. I had white road paint on my black car, took it off with little work.

Just dab a rag in some paint remover and whipe it off the glass.

Clean glass to remove all dust, then use a razorblade smile

fine steel wool and mineral spirits are what paint shops use for windows. My uncle is a body shop manager.
