Thinner and a rag. Only do this on the paint if it is original, factory paint though. Won't hurt the tire or wheel housing. Chuck

u always want to try the least aggressive method first.like everyone mention try clay-bar.if not then u can take lacquer thinner VERY CAREFULLY AND GENTLY i repeat VERY GENTLY on rag and try to wipe it off.then buff it.
