Maybe a mild abrasive, such as the polishing compound that will remove 600-grit scratches, would help. Or an automotive cleaner/wax intended for sun-faded paint.

Otherwise, get a can up touch up spray, clean the surface, mask and shoot.

Good luck,
Bill

Bummer but you MIGHT have to touch-up if you can't hand-rub it out.

Auto parts stores sell mild abrasive rubbing compounds. Try it on a hard-to-see area first because the rubbing compounds can dull some finishes and the paints used on the frames are lightly metallized. Generally metallic paints don't polish well - but they might be clear coated.

Touchup paint is available at the dealer.

Of course Dave S can order it (but I bet he has it in stock)

I am going to presume you mean "goo off", I've never heard of it; but I have used "goo gone", works wonders. Like 2$ a bottle I think. Best of Luck.

You need a can of Graphite Grey, part # MO310.1AAYBP. It comes in a 12 oz. spray from your favorite dealer. Around $16. You will find that it blends in real well with your existing color without much fuss. Good luck!
