Overspray

This is a question concerning exterior house paint. (oil base) My mother's neighbor were painting their house at 2am (weird), once my mom woke up the next day and went to her car she noticed that she had a lot of over spray on her less than 1yr old car.
My question is what can she use to remove the over spray? It is on the paint and on the unpainted plastic moldings.
Any info will be of great help.

If it were my family car I would not touch it. The person that got the overspray on it is responsible for that overspray. I would show the car to the guilty painting party and ask them to be responsible for the damage. That new of a car should be taken to the dealer paint shop where it was bought and let the cost of removing the OS be paid for by the painter that got the overspray on it. Most painting contractors are insured for those type accidents. If you damage the paint/trim, you will be responsible for it. Let the pros take care of that new car's paint. jmo .

I would too, but the nieghbor that is responsible has no money, has never had a job, and has 3 kids!! The duaghter that lives in the house now, both parents have passed and the house has been neglected (broken windows, rotted roof, etc). Not even a court order would make her pay. She is the type that would probably hold a grudge against my mom. With nobody there to defend my mom, my mom does'nt want to cause any waves. My mom did show the overspray to the neighbor, all she said was that she was going to ask the painter what can be used to remove the overspray. Not even a sorry or a i'll have the painter remove it!
IT REALLY P*@#! ME OFF when other people don't give a sh** about other persons property.
