When I scraped my friend's car with mine, I had a good 2 feet of his paint on my car and it all came off with some flux remover and a terry cloth. Good as new. Good thing I waxed the car though.

It should come off. Especially if the car was recently waxed. I like the idea of using a claybar. You might even try a sponge and some soapy water on a small patch first... You never know.

Then install some motion sensor flood lights.

Are you sure that it isn't that washable spraypaint that duplicolor makes? It kinda looks thin compared to regular paint. Maybe you can get lucky and just wash it off. I would also try using a claybar before using any chemicals.

howabout a motion sensor 12 guage?

but seriously, you could try doing a three step buffing process to get it off, i've gotten off paint scuffs from other peoples cars like that (worked at a dealership detailing cars) i'd give it a try before resorting to any harsh chemicals...

good luck!

that doesn't look too bad. At least they didn't smash all your windows or dent your car.

Default Oh Man

I'm just stumbling across this post and it turns my stomach.
Man, I'm sorry to see that.

If I could catch someone doing that, I would pretty much kill them. Seriously. If these ****bags can come into your front yard... what is to stop them from going to the back yard? The house?

Hope you got it fixed up without too much heartache.

I'm sure it buffed right off. He probably got it off before it had time to cure.

Go to Lowe's or Home Depot (can't remember which sells it) and get some of this http://liftoffinc.com/product-graffiti-remover.php The sooner the better.

Then, time for some sniper action...
+10 Graffiti Remover works really well and didn't remove the paint that I noticed.

All you have to do is catch one of these taggers (a.k.a Animals), remove his head, and place it on a spike in your front yard. No more problems. Once they think you are more "LOCO" than they are, your house (and possibly street) will be a gangsta-no-fly zone. If this what it takes to keep our 944s safe, then so be it.......right? ......Yeah, maybe a little over the top. I think you should go with the extra coat of Wax idea instead, and lets all raise our kids to respect others, and their property. Sorry that happened to you, and good luck getting it removed without damage to the car.
