That wasn't so bad...

Thank you, everyone!

Apparently, dish soap and hot water and lots of friction did about 99% of the job on the glass and car paint. But I hadn't had the car out in heat or sunlight since it happened, and I got to it in just about 24 hours. I'm still wondering what precise kind of spray-paint they used; I have this mental image of urban guerillas tagging things in Seattle with water-soluble paint... :)

The rubber and plastic are proving harder to deal with, but it's only a light speckling there, and so there's this effect reminiscent of glitter-embedded rubber. That takes me back to childhood, that does.

Insurance isn't so much an option, as I don't have comprehensive/damage insurance for the car. It's technically totalled, and has more things subtly wrong with it than it's "worth" fixing. So I'm just taking care of it, feeding it oil and changing its diapers (well, cardboard and oil soakers on its parking spot), and hoping it'll last a few more years.
