White emulsion spots all over my car

Ok need some help.... Some nice person near to my work has been having some painting done, and now there are really fine white paint spots on nearly every panel of my shiny black FF. Looks to me like spay from some over enthusiastic Censored muppet with a roller, and some white paint! Need to get it off! Any suggestions, will a clay mitt do the job, I have heard good things about them! Any detailing wizards want to give some advice ? 2006 RR sport HSE

I would try clay first - some have said wd40 but mainly just for tar spots.. Ash

I accidentally sprayed the wife's car when painting the fence on a windy day. Oops!
A clay bar worked to a point, but petrol was the best thing I found.

Assuming this is a masonry paint,used for walls .One hardened it is almost i!possible to get off paint work,try a clay bar and a pressure washer,this may take most of it off.I would be pursueing compensation.I am a decorator and they should have insurance. Full fat 4.2 Sc

If it's an emulsion based paint one of those little steam machines will bring it off quite easily without damaging the paint on the car . I managed to remove 5 ltrs thrown over one of mine by a jealous husband... but that's another story.
The steam softens the emulsion before the the car paint and it can be wiped off.

Be careful with a steam cleaner... it is very easy to get every thing too hot... and then all the paint will wash off... black as well Shocked 60 degree hot wash should be fine, it also depends on how much wax was on the car before the accident.. if it was nice and shiny then you shouldn't have a problem washing it off, even with a cold washer Thumbs Up Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer...

I had exactly the same problem on the front of one of my Classics, when the back of the garage block was painted and the contractors did not cover the vents in the wall. Much if the front of the car was speckled with masonry paint. I polished it off with Autoglym polish. It was hard work and took a long time, but the car was OK afterwards. I didn't manage to deal with the rubber bumper ends, so they were just left. That should not be a problem on 322s, which are all painted and do not have such rubber surfaces.

The contractors didn't get paid... Only Range Rovers since 1988

Shocked So are you saying that to get a really shiny car you have to first cover it in emulsion? Shocked
