Go to the Dollar General (or whatever your local dollar store is called) and buy Mean Green...Wet the paint, spray directly on, immidiately wipe with rag, rinse...It works on my rig with grease or soot from other rigs...

Do what Chris said ... IF that dosn't work, then it is stained into the paint.

This will require a cleaner wax (I prefer Zymbol, Pinnacle, & Wolfgang ... But Zymbol can be found over the counter at walmart, etc.) ...

While there are no specific guidelines for what actually makes up a 'detail,' it is typically considered more extensive than washing and drying a car, and will often involve many steps. Main goals are typically beautification and protection, but can also touch other areas such as minor paint repair and surface restoration, as well as thoroughly cleaning areas which are normally ignored such as the engine and underchassis, wheels, tires, and trim.

The steps of a basic exterior detail of the paint surface consist of, in this order, wash, dry, clay bar, polish, glaze, sealant, wax. Application of a glaze is optional, as is application of both a sealant and wax.

A variety of shampoos, cleaners, degreasers, protectants, lubricants, polishes, clay bars, and waxes have developed over time to suit various demands of consumers and professionals.
