The reason the older folks say not to wax a new paint job is because in the past, it took a while for the paint to cure to full hardness after you bought it. Nowdays they "bake" the paint on and it should be fully cured before it leaves the factory. I would either use Xymol cleaner wak or the Meguiers 3 step system. (scratch x, crystal bright polish, and carnuba wax)

Hope this helps...

Try WD-40 or if you mountain bike there is a chain cleaner/degreaser that should take it off.

try doin the whole panel like the whole hood or whole fender, where ever it is

this way you won't have a big clean spot that will stand out when the rest gets dirty

Try products from zaniobros.com or if you can find some old solvent with 111 trychlor in it this will probbly work. 111 was discontinued because it caused cancer but I never believed it. I have to go wax my head now, I think I'll use some windshield wax from zanio.
