How to remove white road paint?

Sometime over last week I must have run over newly painted lines My driver side had a little bit of paint, mostly on the inner part of the red that wraps around in the fender

I can chip it off with my nails, but dont want to gouge the paint

bug & tar remover?

paint remover/ Nail polish remover?

I'm not trying anyting till I know it's safe.

I have a question about clay-bars.... Can I pick these up at local stores or is Zaino the only manufacturer? I noticed on their website it says Claybar™.

Mother's and Clay Magic are available locally. Do not use Meguiars, as it isn't as good as the others.

I've been using the bug & tar remover, it seems to be working, but takes ALOT of work!

Once I'm out of school, I'll put my 3 coats of wax on to kick off the summer

only really on the gray, so if it had any real adverse affects it woudl have been noticeable. Since it was a "2-tone" thing.

use goof off, tar remover, paint thinner, or gasoline. be careful with the goof off or paint thinner, it would be a good idea to dillute the goof off or paint thinner. Then wax over the area with a good wax, and you are done.
