Default dried paint drops on my roadster top cover

Just discovered there are a few small drops of dried white paint on my Roadster top cover. Tried scraping VERY gently but not coming off. Is there any remover that will take these off without damaging the cover?? It is the original cover that came with the car and in great shape so I don't want to damage it. Not very noticeable but just enough to bug me because I know it is there.

Depending on how small (or large) they are, and what color and material your cover is, you could try lacquer thinner on cotton Q-tips. Lacquer thinner wil dissolve most paints. It might soften enough to carefully pick it off, or could just liquify it and the Q-tips could fully remove it. Try a small obscure spot first.

I have used Goof-off, but try it first in an inconspicuous place. Works best with latex paint.
