Angry Spots even after the detailing...

My car was sitting outside my apartment when the morons who work here decided it would be a good idea to seal the sidewalks (salt eats em unlessyou clearcoat them) with a thompsons like product. Unfortunately they sprayed it on, and it was windy as hell. After arguing for a week with the idiots in the rental office they agreed for me to take the car to a detailer to have them removed. Got the car back, and all though the sealer spots dont "feel 3d" any more I can see some of them under the street light. In addition, I can find some spots the detail shop missed. What can I do as I am super **** about my black Z. In addition, there is some on the glass and rubber trim, so ways to remove it from ther would be helpful. I am willing to spend good amounts of time on the car if I can remove the spots, just need a clue where to turn. thanks

Start with a clay bar. If that doesnt work, move up to some 3M stuff. I think its 3M9909 or something like that. If those two dont work, time to take it to a body shop and have it repaired.

Take it back to the detailing shop, that sounds like a sh!tty job to me. Otherwise try the products already mentioned, I personally have had no luck with a clay bar though.

Use a razor blade on the window. Then use a clay bar with lots of lube while rubbing. After this, there will be a ton of minor scratches from the particles running over the paint. You may have to have it wheeled...or a high pressure orb job done. Good luck.
