Paint Drops... need help...

Hey guys,

I found these paint drops on my car. Right above the passenger window and I have no idea what they are or how they got there. Anyone have a suggestion as to how to get them off? They are hard and not soft in anyway.

Thanks,

Adam

Paint thinner and then a careful waxing afterwards

Thanks Viper. I am going to take it to a shop to have them look at it and explain what to do. So weird this is on my car.

Looks liker house paint. Some mineral spirits should wipe it right off, use a little bit of sealant or wax over the spot after to protect the paint. Doesn't look like automotive paint though.

A little rubbing alcohol worked like a charm. Scared me for a bit there...!
