Latex Paint

While my wife was painting some furniture, one of my kids decided that it would be cool to play in the paint. I now have light blue latex paint hand prints on the side of my Explorer. How do I get them off with out completely screwing up the paint? I tried washing the truck, too late to get it off (already dried).

I found this stuff works pretty good for removing latex paint
I've used it before my car and it won't harm your paint
but it will strip all wax off

Forgot about this thread. The Goof-Off worked great! No more latex paint on the truck.

That's not Angle Grinder Man, that's Chop Saw Man. He's not the right man for the job.

Well I Googled "Angle Grinder Man" and that's what came up. I was just surprised that somebody actually calls himself that.
