Need ideas for removing white line road paint

Need some help with any and all suggestions on removing very fine white
specks of road paint from the black trim on the lower front. I have tried
some old detailer's tricks but none have worked. I'm a little cautious
about paint remover. Thanks to all that reply.

Since it's very fresh (hopefully), compared to your car's paint, try to use a clay bar on it.

If that doesn't work, try Goo-Gone, Goof-Off, or one of those heavy duty adhesive removers that are harmless to your car's paint.

I am not sure if this is the exact product I have used in the past, but the container looks about right. I am sure that one of the guys over at Detailer's Paradise could also hook you up with something as well.

We had a company car where the driver drove down a freshly painted yellow line for a LONG distance - literally about an 1/8" buildup on the rocker panel wheel to wheel and splatters across the doors. Our detail guy used something similar to this (in solution form I am guessing) and the car came out great with no visable damage to the paint. Obviously, you will probably need to re-apply wax.
