After washing up the truck I noticed that there was tiny yellow specs on my bumper and some of the plastic on the front of my truck.
I realized it had to be over spray from a road crew painting the road during my trip over the summer.
Any tips on how to get this off? Thanks

if its yellow stripe paint, try mineral spirits.

You can use clay bar or Goof Off also.

Mineral oil or lacquer thinner is what my auto body shop uses
What you use is dependent on how long ago you drove through it or near it while they were spraying

On the plastic, you can use a scraping device if it doesn't come off with one of the other suggestions. Be gentle if using a metal one and hold it almost parallel to the surface.

Autobody reducer works great for glass and paint. On any plastic, I'd use some Kerosene.
