Default Help... There is paint on my car...

So I just went out to lunch and noticed there are paint spatters all over the drivers side of my car... I tried scratching it off with my nail, but its on there good! There are a few spatters on the glass, but I guess I can just use a razor blade on those... but what about the marks on my doors and fender??

Here are some pics (the quality sucks they came from my phone)...

Any suggestions as to what is strong enough to remove the paint but not too strong to hurt my car's real paint??

Clay bar & lube. If that doesn't work, you will have to use a solvent.

Deatiler's clay and a lubrication should remove overspray

Least Abrasive Product First: [/i][/b]
Always use the least abrasive product first-
[/b]
(a) [/b]A safe solvent (Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) Simple Green® Aircraft & Precision Cleaner or Stoner’s Tarminator
(b) [/b]Detailer’s Clay
(c) [/b]A chemical / abrasive paint surface cleaner (Zaino Paint Cleaner Z-PC or Zaino All-In-One Z-AIO)
(d)[/b] An abrasive polish
(e) [/b]Wet-sand with 2500 / 3000 grit finishing paper[/b]
f) [/b]If the surface has been etched use an abrasive polish and a polisher (Rotary or Random orbital)

The same adage applies to abrasive polishes and foam pads –
Always use the least abrasive first before ‘stepping–up’ to the next abrasive level[/i]
