    i rekon go down to you local self serve coin wash, use the high pressure hose.
    If you go rubbing it with anything its going to mark the paintwork.

    Once you've got off as much as you can with the high pressure, wash as you normally would

    CT18 truck wash does the trick - follow the instructions and make sure you give it a polish afterwards.

    hmmmm, seems like people use different things for this. I tried scrubbing but it didn't work, so i guess i'll have to use som kind of product. Anyway, thanks for your help everyone

    Hey balkanac, I use Goof Off (from Bunnings) to get rid of stubborn residues. It's not very corrosive, just need to follow the instructions on the bottle. If first time doesn't work, then the next few attempts would slowly get it off.
