I instead bought the smaller one which is turtle brand and says bugs tar paintspots remover and I got it for just $3 bucks.

I put the stuff on soft cloth and rubed gently for like a minute or 2 on each spots and eventually it worked.

The remover also says something like ok for clear coats or something which I don't know what it means.

thanks guys,

btw the paint is i think to apply on walls so maybe for housepaints.
What you bought is similar to stuff I use. What you have to be careful is that it is really a mild polish, so if you rub over-and-ove in the same place, you will eventually wear out the clearcoat. Also, you should re-wax the area which you used the polish compound, since you basically removed the wax while removing the white paint spots.
