Auto Smart Tardis is your best bet it you can get hold of it. You have to buy it from an AS rep and it only comes in 5 litres.
Auto Finesse Oblitarate is a very good product, available in smaller sizes too.

Both are - spray on, let it dissolve and wipe away - products.

A quick google saw suggestions of WD40 being used successfully then you could clean it off with a 50/50 mix of methylated spirits/water to clean that off. The other thing to try would be a clay bar? If you are not in a hurry I bought one for or or two quid delivered from China a while ago and just use car shampoo stuff with it to rub it off.
