Crap stuck all over my truck

Joined a work party yesterday at the marina.
I was there for about 3-4 hours.

Came back out to my truck (brand new) and noticed the windshield really dirty. Tried the wiper/washer, but only some of this junk came off.

Later I decided to wash her in the driveway. Whatever was stuck on there would NOT come off, and it was everywhere but heavier on one side mostly and really bad on the hood and roof. It was like small grains of black stuff. I tried everything. But i was afraid of ruining the finish cause this stuff was gritty. To get it off the glass I used Acetone and a razor blade. Thats how bad it is.

I left the rest alone because I didn't want to damage the finish.

Now I don't know what to do. I have no idea what is stuck on there. It is so bad it would not even come off the wiper blades. I threw those away. Its like it was hot and melted into the blades and the truck's finish.

I was parked fairly near the souteast expressway, but I don't think they were asphaulting or anything. and like I said this stuff is like grit. Its not paint becasue acetone should have removed it easily.

I am thinking detailer or body shop,

I am quite pisched !!!!

Things done at the last possible minute are done with the greatest possible information. Procrastination is, therefore, the most efficient means of doing things.
