I was driving on the highway and somehow I ran over some house paint and it got into the tires, wheel wells, under the sideskirt, and on the fender. Anyone know how to safely remove this without causing damage to the paint? I think it's all dried up right now. I was able to use my fingers to lightly scratch some of it off.

for the tires, wheel wells and such a high pressured car wash hose up close should get it too, it's latex paint

Both of what was said is correct. Pressure washer and clay bar. Should come off very easy.

Just paint the whole car, fixed.

Is it a nice color?
Seriously, I knew someone who also got paint on his car. he took the car to a detail shop. Car was perfect after that

the detail spray didn't work too well. I just used goof off and then buff it afterwards.
