acetone works well , but be quick about it and wash the paintwork after your done so you dont ruin it . rub really lightlly - be carefull ! .. U know what nail polish remover does to paint on chick nails ! - nail polish remover is full of acetone + a bit of oil.

If you don't trust yourself with acetone then just get some 'bug & tar' remover , like you use on the front bumbers & grill etc , that works fine too . ;)

Tried Bug and tar remover but with no success. I am now trying Eucalyptus oil and that seems to be working with a lot of elbow grease as well.Many thanks
