go to a body shop and ask if you can steal a splash of reducer (not thinner) on a clean soft rag... should come right off..

thinner will work.. but its fairly harsh

if the reducer doesn't work try oven cleaner. oven cleaner will take off road paint, but you have to watch how long you leave it on the paint!!

I agree with the thinner, and a soft sponge. Be gentle with moderate elbow grease.
