Body Shop or Detail Shop

I got sprayed by a line painting truck. I told the flagmen in the road that I wanted the sprayer to stop spraying before I passed...and he did...and started spraying again right as I came by the truck. Mother F'er.

Anyway, now I have about 20 yellow spots on my car. I tried to get under them with my finger nail and pop 'em off, but no luck.

Is this something for a body guy or a detailer?

Detailer should be able to buff them off.

Wet a cloth rag with a little lacquer thinner, wipe off. Using a clean rag/pad re-buff and wax the spots.

Definitely a job for a detailer. Clay bar or some type of tar remover (lacquer thinner was mentioned - I prefer "tarminator" )

Don't let the body shops near your car. The percentage of guys there actually doing decent work is low as shown here
