After that wash with warm water and soap. I would try a small spot first and go from there. Hope this helps.

As mentioned do test spots to make sure it's safe on the different surfaces (grill, trim and paint).
Thanks for chiming in guys. I figured house painters deal with this issue and have a solution.
I'm happy to say I don't have any experience with this type of paint removal.

That is God AWFUL.
I hope she had the sense to get the plate # of the truck so they can be held responsible.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.

Something similar happened to my wife last year. I was able to remove most with a power washer but it took some time, the rest I scraped off with a plastic razor blade and then polished the remaining residue off. It was a PITA

Re: Paint splatter all over
Paint splatter like this is brutal to get off especially after it dries. Try working one area at a time, soak over and over with the hottest water you can use (with gloves) and then try a stiff bristle brush. The brush may cause some micro scratching on the paint, but if you are going to do a full detail with machine polishing prior to ceramic coating it doesn't matter. The goal is to remove the paint.
On the 4th of July one of my neighbors was vandalized by some idiot that decided to dump a gallon of floresent orange paint on top of his pickup because he didn't like a pro Trump sign on his lawn. Took me seven hours to clean. I feel your pain. This is hard work!

Re: Paint splatter all over
You might want to try "Goof Off", it's what I used to remove latex paint when I used to be a painter. Any paint store or Home Depot/Lowes will have it. It's going to be a lot of work though. Those pics made me cringe. I've cleaned overspray off cars before but nothing to that extent. Good luck.
