Getting paint off of a car

Guess something fell off of a truck, car in front of my wife hit a paint bucket and paint splattered all over her vehicle.
Can't really just scrape it off. Tried just a plain microfiber. It's everywhere, is there a product I can use to get it off without messing with the paint/clear coat?

Is the car PPF'd or Ceramic Coated?
Without seeing a picture have you tried a clay bar or mit with a good detail spray?
Also, googone, bug remover or all purpose cleaner may help. They should be followed with a sealant after the paint is removed.

Before it dries, wipe it off with some mineral spirits on a rag.
Just about any car built in the past 20 years will have polyurethane clear that's hard to damage.
Just don't let it soak for too long.
If the mineral spirits doesn't work, step up to laquer thinner.

I will post a pic when I get back home. It's pretty bad. There are about 20-25 dime size spots at the front. Then hundreds of specs all over the right side.
This is a 2024 suburban BTW

Contractor's Solvent by De-Solv-it or WD40 should do it
Let it sit on there a few minutes but test in a small spot first to make sure the paint holds up to it.

Denatured alcohol would be my first choice assuming its latex based.

Mine did the same thing and she didn’t tell me about it until a day or two later. Latex just came right off with a finger nail and a couple washes though.

WD-40 and a micro fiber cloth. Work small areas. It won't take long to remove the paint splashes.

Probably too late but some MEK and a rag can do the job if you get right on it.
