was

Lacquer thinner will also do the job.

them, and take it to a detailing shop.
OR take it to detailer, THEN take the painters to small claims!

you will ruin your paint job.. the brake fluid will eat all the
paint/including the original finish and then even the metal..the lacquor
thinner will remove your original paint also.. use bug and tar
remover... use it for a few times and eventually you will get this mist
of paint off the car.. they also sell a product that will work for
you.. i went to auto zone and got some Clay.. its the stuff that you
apply an oil on the finish of your car and then rub the clay prduct on
it removes the dirt that does not come off evern after a wash... it does
not distroy the finish and works..... you first wash the car and then
spray on the oil spray and work a 3 foot area at a time and it will
remove tree sap, road dirt... rail dirt, etc.. Mothers makes some and so
does other companies..... the one i got from auto zone is called Clay
Magic.. its about $10... it comes with the clay part(about the size of a
cleaning pad and a spray bottle of oil(???). and the instructions..
hope this helps.

By the way... Most Bug & Tar = Charcoal Lighter except for price. Check
