I was washing off my CX-7 yesterday, and I saw on my windows what looked like dust, but it did not come off. well so happens that my white trash neighbor was spray painting his trailer for his boat, and got the overspray all over my CX-7. Now I don't know how to get it off, any suggestions how to get it off? I think I'm going to snap, just got it a couple of weeks ago, and the idiot messed it up!!!!!!!
my idiot neighbor #%@$ed my cx-7

Well first go and talk to that neighbor "kindly". haha Then take it to a good detailing or body shop and have them buff the car. Usually spray paint will come off very easily and not hurt anything. I'd be pissed too!
My friend and his wife had both there cars graffitied and he just had them buffed, took it right off.

have it detailed and make sure he pays for it.
Ask him to pay for a detailer. If he refuses, small claims court. If you'd like to maintain peace in your side yard, just hire a detailer yourself.
A clay bar may take it off, depending on how bad it is, but the CX-7 has a lot of surface area, you'll break both of your arms off trying to clay that big beast. Just get a detailer to come do it, clay/polish/buff will probably do the job.

similiar incident happened when they resprayed a water tower where I used to work.
I ended up with a $400 detailing bill to actually remove the overspray. (they paid, dont worry)
it will depend on the situation, but best solutions (in order they should probably take place)
1) clay bar
2) steam machine
3) high speed compound buff.
best advice - bring it to a real professional. If you dont know of a detailing service, ask your trusted body shop. They will generally recommend someone.

Well, since everyone seems to be giving you variations on the same advice, I thought I'd offer an alternate approach, just in case you didn't think of it:
1. Buy Marshmallows
2. Hook up his boat trailer to your CX-7.
3. Set the entire arrangement (CX, boat, trailer) on fire.
4. Crash it into his house.
5. Roast Marshmallows.
I'd just hate for you to miss an opportunity to roast marshmallows!

I agree. This would be the least abrasive way possible. As noted from a professional detailer, you can only buff a clear coated car once, MAYBE twice before you take off too much of the clear.
