    How to remove grease from paint?

    While putting in my new motor, I got a few finger prints on the paint on my car. What is the best way to remove the grease? The car is white, so it really sticks out. The car does have a maaco paintjob so its not the best anyway, but I would like to get some of the grease off if possible.

    Thanks

      I've tried wash it off, but to no avail.

      Would bug and tar remover work?

          Even gasoline will work. You'll just have to rewax the area after you wash it.

            I've found the best way is some windshield washer fluid and a soft towel. Reason being, we clean windows at our shop and its in a spray bottle and i get grease and sometimes tar on the bottom of my side skirts on the stang and a little spray of it and a wipe of the towel takes it right off. Well i'm picky so i use toilet paper

            And like another guy said, you'll have to rewax the spot in order to blend it back in.

                      Well, I tried the dawn method. Didn't work. It almost seems like the grease is in the paint. Remember, this has a maaco paintjob, so its probably shitty paint.

                            I would highly recommend replacing the pannels

                              I've heard using brake fluid and a rag will remove grease
