try a qd

but do it quick as old fluids can be very bad for the paint

You might even consider just doing a full wash. I`d rather spend time washing (and maybe even using a paint cleaner and rewaxing) than risk permanent issues.

Same `ol same `ol that I try for most anything: first I`d try clay and if that didn`t do it I`d use the mildest paint cleaner/polish on hand. Then rewax.

I`d think a paint cleaner or even a cleaner wax would do the trick. If all else fails you can try something simple like Windex, but you`ll have to rewax that area.

i even trried quick detailing and it didnt work if thats what qd stands for

For an OTC solution, Meguiar`s Deep Crystal Step #1 or their Color-X cleaner wax would be two choices.
