So last night the wife was respraying the railing on the front steps with white spray paint and unfortunately the explorer was downwind and got covered in basically spray paint dust. I tried running it through a car wash and it didn’t seem to help. Any other ideas on how to remove this stuff before it gets too damanaged?

everyone is going to say NO, but if it were me.........AND ITS NOT ME......... i would get a gallon of kerosine, and a rag, and start trying to wipe off as much of that overspray as i could. and then after it is off..... try to figure out how to put a protective coat of something back over the paint....
kerosine is some mean stuff....... and i am not a paint detail guy........ but i have seen the stuff pull spray paint off of cars before.......
some other guys will come along with better ideas, PROFESSIONAL ideas( thats a good thing)......

Find something that’s a solvent for it? White spirit might work, or meths. Not many paints that are petrol resistant, but automotive paints are so that might work too. Test it on an area out of sight first though just to make sure it definitely will stand up to it.

Clay. If not, may need to wet sand it off then polish. I’ve had to sand off overspray before. If that’s something you’re not comfortable with, a detail shop can handle it.

That’ll buff out after a good wash and a clay bar. Pretty sure. Not even sarcastic. That’s what I would do.

Seconded. Crossed some freshly painted HWY lane markers in my old car, resulting in essentially the same situation. Clay bar took car of most of it, light polishing in heavy areas.
As always, work from the least aggressive to most aggressive method. Best of luck!

Just go with it and spray the whole thing.

Use tar and glue remover if you have some. If not and you have a clay bar/mitt/towel, use a strong shampoo to water mix if you’ve no clay lube to reduce any micromarring. Lightly polish the area afterwards and job done.

Clay bar or rub liquid wax with a microfiber towel directly on the affected spots
