It can be washed off with water. Alternatively, scrub with a 10% ammonia solution, then rinse with a dilute acetic acid solution, and finally rinse with clean water. You can moisten it with a 10% citric acid solution, leave it for an hour, and then rinse it thoroughly with clean water. First, repeatedly apply kerosene, then apply some dilute acetic acid, and finally wash with water to remove it. Sprinkle a few drops of alcohol on it, then rinse thoroughly with warm water and soap. Turpentine can be used to wipe it off, and new stains can be soaked in water and scrubbed.
My car has some real stone paint particles stuck on it, probably from nearby construction splashing while parked. I have experience dealing with this kind of issue: first rinse the car body with soft water to soften the particles; then buy a dedicated automotive clay bar and gently wipe the surface while spraying lubricating water. Avoid using hard objects to scrape, as it can easily scratch the paint. If the particles are deeply embedded, take it to a professional car wash for polishing machine treatment. Afterward, remember to apply wax for protection to reduce future contamination. The key is to regularly inspect the car body, especially after parking near construction areas. Last time I encountered this, it took me half a day to fix it. Prevention is key, so now I try to park farther away from such areas.
