You can quickly use lacquer thinner and them rub with a polishing glaze to recondition. This will not hurt the paint. The paint is too far cured for thinner to eat away at it in a short time. And DON'T use brake fluid.

pre-soak that with WD-40, clean and then use a clay bar kit.... that should take it off and won't screw up your paint.

I've (completely unintentionally) discovered brake fluid does a great job of taking off paint used to cover the areas of your scuffed up undercarriage. However, I wouldn't recommend it.

Brake fluid is way too aggressive. Brake cleaner and Carb cleaner work great on fully cured paint for mistakes.

I always used EZ-OFF oven cleaner to remove pin strips and over spray , never had a problem with fully cured clear coat being harmed,

Polishing compound and elbow grease. If you use Brake Fluid, you will likely end up with this ....
