Best way is to probably use polishing compound to get it all off, then put a coat of wax on after you're done.
If the finish is still nice, the paint should come off easily with the compound.
I'm sure you know not to use acetone, paint thinner, etc...
Good luck!
Get yourself some Goof-Off from your local hardware or Home Depot ASAP. The longer your wait, the less chance you have of getting it off.
If you have a clear coat finish, make sure you use a clear coat polishing compound. Take it from someone who knows. Sigh.
Thank you, I meant to put "clear coat safe" in there.
Meguire's Scratch-X is pretty good. I use it on my motorcycle tank to get the swirles out. (or filled)
