Removing paint varnish splatters from car

    The entire front, window and side of my car got absolutely covered in blobs of varnish when my genius father decided to paint something in front of it with a sprayer. I've attached a picture of part of the bonnet but it might be hard to make out.

    Unfortunately I only saw it this morning and he did it on Saturday so it's had the whole weekend to dry.

    Someone suggested using petrol to rub it off with but I'd be hesitant using petrol on the car's paintwork.

    Anyone have any advice?
    Thanks.

    Petrol with a microfibre will get it off, Make sure to wash the car entirely afterwards with a good soap.

    Petrol should be fine just temper your roughness on the surface when rubbing.

    There are other products like Tardis etc that do similar job but they can also be more aggresive.

    You might get more answers in the detailing forum, but this video is worth a look. Frankly I'm surprised that pure carnuba wax will remove paint, but there you go. The best advice I can give you is to start with the least abrasive method and work your way up. You can cause more damage to your paint by doing it incorrectly.
