Default Latex Paint Overspay Removal?????

Help....I used an airless sprayer to shoot my house with latex...well, someone opened the garage door, the wind picked up, and blammo...the back half of the NBM car is now speckled in toasted almond latex. I tried a claybar, but it was not cutting it. I can pop the specks off with my fingernail, but I be there for a year, (nevermind the thought of scraping 50% of my paint is making me sick). Anyone have any ideas???

Have you tried gasoline. Worked for me in a similar case.

be very careful using acetone, kerosene, gasoline or anything like that.... I think I would just wash it and see if I could scrub them off... then if that didn't work use some wax and polish them off.

My Uncle owns Beaver of Jackson in Jackson MS. They have a Website at Beaver of Jackson. He has lots of waxes, cutting creams, tire shine, ect. that he makes himself and some from other distributors as well. He pretty much covers all of Mississippi and Louisiana. Tell him his niece Dana is on this forum and recommended you give him a call. A friend of mine's daughter sprayed white spray paint all over my 79 camaro one day and the cutting cream took it right off with just elbow grease. I was amazed. The car was black. Anyway good luck

latex house paint??? it sound's like you got yourself in a rut... I ran over white latex paint that a truck spilled on the highway one day, and it got EVERYWHERE. nothing got it off EFFICIENTLY, and yes i tried everything. what i had to do was scrape it off the entire car with nothing but my fingernail. it was a PITA, but 3 weeks later, i got it all off.
