Mom spreaded some Kosher table salt on the driveway and my car had to be pulled out of the garage for a sec. A strong wind blew and the table salt she was spreading blew onto my hood. The salt is now sort of like "glued" onto the hood (cant blow it off) and the grains are pretty big (not as big as road salt though). I am assuming some sort of covalent bond was formed with the paint. so I am wondering how I should quick detail this or will it even harm the paint? I have Acrylic Jett Trigger on the car so I'm surprised how easily it bonded...

that weird!
but you have ONR so how come you did not wash it yet?
I think rubbing, scrubbing, wiping, dusting - whatever you want to call it - is a bad idea and you will end up scratching your paint. The smartest thing is to run water over it and let the water dissolve the salt anything less and you will just be rubbing the salt crystals over your paint. coin-op is the best i think second would be water hose, bucket washing is not going to give you enough water to properly dissolve the salt. Unless of course you're going to pour 20 5gal buckets of water over it.

Yeah, I didn't really use my brain. I just realized that H2O dissolves NaCl. So some warm water in a spray bottle should work fine!
