Default over spray...pissed off! how to remove?

i've got a brand new $42000 truck and now has over spray on it at 500 miles from the dealership. it's on the glass and paint. is this something that can easily be corrected? how?

it got the over spray while they were fixing one of the painted door moldings. so it's the same color but you can feel it on the body and see it on the windows.

they want me to wait 2 weeks to have a specific detailer work on. really don't want to wait.

Your location says centex so I'm wondering if the specific detailer is Nick's Custom Detailing... if so it'll probably be me doing it as we work with a couple contractors on stuff like this. If you don't want to wait, get a clay bar and it might take a little work, but it will come off.

i wish it was nick doing it. i live down closer to austin. i've seen a lot of his work on dfwstangs/dfwmustangs. i posted up there too. i was figuring clay bar on the body but will it work the same on the glass? i am extremely ocd about stuff and don't want to keep looking at it every second i'm driving the truck. what if the clay bar doesn't do it 100%? will thinner or acetone work? i may try the clay bar but anymore than that i probably won't cause i don't want to get in my own way!
