Thank you!

Minis-are-slow,
sometimes they are more scary than "road paint."

3M adhesive remover has worked for me or meguiar's "junk" remover, followed by claying the area....

and of course stephen, next time only drive white cars over white paint. one of the added advantages of SY on yellow stripes here in USA!!!

You can use bug and tar remover, or WD40 or lighter fluid. It will also strip your wax so you will need to apply that again. I know that those products sound whacky, but they work without damaging the paint.
