Default oil on paint!

so my AC went out last week and car has to sit in the garage for like 8 days till i found ac parts. i took the car 3 days ago at late night so i couldnt wash it. car was parked in the sun too i washed it today and i noticed that oil marks didnt go! i went back to the car wash and tried to remove it my self with no hope! now my front bumper is dull with oil drop marks! and some on my fenders too. what to use to clean this off?? its there for 3 days so i think it can come off with polish or something? tips please..thanks.

Try buffing it with a light compound and a high speed polisher. Go easy on the pressure to keep from burning throught the paint.

use a non abrasive degreaser. try using dish washing detergent first. squirts directly on the area, spread over area, let it sit, rinse off. this should work. make sure you wax the car after.

Try to avoid using wetsand as much as possible. it will make it come of but you are also making your clear thinner. use it as a LAST resort.
