Default How do I remove unwanted paint?

My sister's neighbor painted his cement fence with white paint and I parked my car where some of that paint landed on her driveway. I didn't see it and I'm wishing I had. The stuff was still wet and my tires threw the paint onto my car while I drove home. How do I get it off my car? I've washed it, and used some zaino z6 (the gloss enhancer stuff) and it still won't come off.

I was thinking of trying the clay bar next, but I'm thinking that won't be enough.

Any input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

clay should work or some kind of solvent remover, maybe even goo gone or tree sap remover

Default Yeah tried the tree sap remover, didn't help.

Oh yeah, I tried the Turtle wax bug and tar remover stuff as well, and that didn't help. I forgot to say this before, the paint got on the car a couple of weeks ago. I had no time to get all of it off. So now it's totally dry and really stuck on there.

I'm hoping the clay helps, any ideas on the solvent remover? Any brand I should get, where to buy it?

Thanks for the input!

Pick at it slowly with a finger nail, old credt card or plastic razor blade, and then polish any small scratches.
