Default Paint Splatters on my car

On Sunday I noticed a squashed paint can in the road and white paint on the road. I thought that I had avoided it, but when I got home I noticed on the drivers side there are probably a few hundred little specs of white paint. Some are on the front right wheel/ tire and plastice liner, but most are on the paint behind the front right wheel and on the driver's door. Thankfully, its probably a latex. Any recommendations? Thanks in advance.

My first thought is to try a clay bar to the area of the paint specks.
I spray the area with a quick detailer product first, (or you can use diluted car wash concentrate), and gently rub the clay bar over it. Then wipe it dry. Hope that works for you.

You can also try a cealsing solution like the one Zymol has. It is designed to take paint over-spray off like this among other residue. When I noticed that a person bumped my car and I had some white pint on the bumper, I used it and it took it right off.

It must have been latex, I was able to remove most of it with a clay bar and the rest with my fingernail. Thanks a million for the advice.
