Question how to remove oil from white paint

Hi i have a white car that we changed headers on and i am waiting for some other stuff to arrive. It is going to set for at least anoth 2 weeks. Will it hurt the paint with specks of oil on it? How do i remove it? Its just on hood and front bumper. Thanks Justin

Some type of degreaser or the clay bar. I would remove it ASAP just to be safe. You will also need to re-polish/wax the area.

Well i wont be able to get it cleaned for a few weeks. It wiped off kinda easy on one spot. Its not at my house. I guess i will try a goo be gone and or wd40. If that doesn't work i will get a clay bar.

That should work. Once your done with the install you can clean it up again and polish/wax.

Wash it with Dawn dish soap, it's safe for paint. I wouldn't use anything harsher than that. Be sure to throw some wax on whatever you wash because it will remove it, as you've stated.
