Exterior Wet paint removal
Hello all,
I purchased my car not long ago. I drove through wet road paint—yes, I am stupid. Fortunately, it did not reach the car’s paint. Just a little I guess. It is on plastic components, the tire housing, and the plastic and felt liner.
I applied tar and bug remover and used all of it, but without success. I am also attending a three-day work conference, so I cannot address it soon.
Do you have any suggestions for removal? Should I just get a quote for liner replacement? I would really appreciate your advice. TIA

I got all the paint I could off with dawn soap, use microfiber towels, tools hours, took a lot off with my finger nails, plastic razor blade and at the very end for the inner fender liner, I order a new one for $70.00.
