Default spray sunscreen

I have a berlina black S that has received over spray of coppertone sunscreen. This looks to be specks in the paint where it landed on the trunk. You can not feel pits and I have tried washing/clay bar and this has helped but still is not entirely gone. Anyone else know of a better way to remove?

I would imagine it's greasy remnants of the sunscreen that are still there. Try an all purpose car cleaner or goo gone on one of the spots. You'll have to re-wax that area afterwards because that'll remove that wax.

I had the same issue last year - I tried rubbing alcohol and it removed some but not all - I ended up claying to remove the rest.

Follow-up:

- rubbing alcohol works for a first step. This will remove a large portion of the over spray.
- Wash with Dawn dish soap
- Clay bar (multiple iterations of wash/clay needed)
- several coats of Zaino

Final results were removal of 95%+ of the over spray but it is still noticeable under a strong light. Have to say knowing it is this difficult to remove sunscreen, would park away from everyone. Also would like to know how the Goo Gone product works for removal of this stuff. Thanks for the help.
