House painter from hell left paint mist on my bike and a couple drips on the leather seat .Ideas?

The paint is not directly noticable because it is similar in color. But I can feel the roughness on the tank etc. And there are a few small drips on the leather seat that are very noticable. Aside from my seething anger and what I'd like to do to the guy, I'd just like to get the paint off if I can.House painter from hell left paint mist on my bike and a couple drips on the leather seat .Ideas?
Be careful...whatever you use may mar the original finish. Paint and metal are not made for each other so conversion coatings are used between them. While durable, a solvent may remove the clear coat or dull it so the result may be worse than the roughness you now feel.House painter from hell left paint mist on my bike and a couple drips on the leather seat .Ideas?
The best way to remove is car stuff. You can try reg car wax - it may remove the paint (esp latex) and it will make protective finish if you buff it with a clean cotton cloth (old undershirt is great). If reg wax doesn't cut it use car ';polishing'; or ';rubbing'; compound to remove paint, then wax.

Rubbing compound will help on the tank. Need further info on type of paint to address leather problem!
Goo-Gone. You can get it from your local hardware store
This happened to a friend of mine...white house paint on her brand new black firebird...she made the painters pay to have her car repainted. They tried removing the house paint first but it dulled the finish on the car.
