Default Paint removal

Hey guys my wife recently drove over some wet paint some where and it got all in the wheel well and on her car :/ it's white paint .. Looks like street or House paint .. Now I wanted to know what can I do to remove the paint safely ? The car is blue and it's a 06 mini .. It got on the tires and wheel well and on the car too .. Thanks

Thinner and a rag. Only do this on the paint if it is original, factory paint though. Won't hurt the tire or wheel housing. Chuck

u always want to try the least aggressive method first.like everyone mention try clay-bar.if not then u can take lacquer thinner VERY CAREFULLY AND GENTLY i repeat VERY GENTLY on rag and try to wipe it off.then buff it.
