Default drove over wet paint on 7th ave and osborn

I noticed there was paint all over 7th ave and osborn in the suicide lane and the left lane. There was a good amount of cars that were behind me and sure got painted. The paint is all over the lower portion of my car and tires. How would I take the paint off, and what else should I do? I know there's a lot of ____ed drivers, especially the m5 that cut me off in the suicide lane

I work for another city in Az and you should file a claim against the city u were in. We have people ruin their wheels on potholes and file a claim with our risk management dept

Fun! I just took this stuff off my sister's car last week.

Her car had little specks all over the left side and the back. Those came off with a clay bar and quick detailer as the lube. I buffed out the fine scratches afterward, and threw the clay bar away as that line stuff has glass in it as a reflector.

The stuff on the bottom of the car was more difficult to deal with. Since it formed a near solid plate, I had to use a plastic "hard card" to scrape it off.

I found out its an epoxy more than it is a paint. Solvents don't work...

If it happend recently, claybar should still pull it off. If you cannot get it off, file a claim with the City's Risk Management division.
