Paint on my car
Just washed the S and found it's covered with small flecks of white paint 
It must have happened at work when I parked near a fence only to find they had painted it when I returned to my car
Can anyone recommend a solvent that would remove the paint but not cause any damage? It's all over the bodywork, so it will need a thorough going over. I think it must be gloss as hot water won't budge it.
Some pics below although it's hard to see on the metalic finish.
Any suggestions gratefully received

Many moons ago, something similar happened to the cars of about a dozen employees, parked on a site where I was Works Director.
The contamination was caused by a faulty spray booth on an adjoining site.
When I fetched their MD round to see the problem, he immediately agree to have all the vehicles professionally cleaned.

I would find out who owns the fence and make enquiries.
Surely their agent was negligent, not taking due care.
Your photos and proof your car was there will help?
A professional clean/re-wax paid, at least, IMO.

Only use compound if you really know how to use it, it very abrasive and the car would need to be polished and glazed properly afterwards.
How about Autoglym tar remover, that might work.
Or, find the painter and have a polite word in his ear while your hands are round his throat.
