    try a small spot somewhere inconspicuious. otherwise get the bulk of with commpressor and then drench the car fully really well and wash it normally, keep the spounge extra wet..

    rinse the areas well with plenty of water as dry chem extinguisher powder when left and becomes wet can be corrosive .

    My car had some on it after we got rid of the last of the charge in an extinguisher, washed it the next morning no problem.
