wet it then let it set for 10 mins...repeat....then pressure wash it away if if wontcome off very good. if its easy to get off then just pressure wash it off

Spray it down with Simple Green or Orange Blast/Grease Lightening, or Castrol Super Clean, let it sit for a while then spray it off (high pressure is best).
Good luck!

Oh ok, I'll try those cleaners on it....I tried using an electric powered pressure washere but it didn't do so good...might have to try a real one.

Use castrol superclean in a squirt bottle, DO NOT DILUTE IT! Spray it, let it sit atleast 20 minutes, squirt with water hose, repeat if nescarey. Once the bulk of it is off you can use an old sponge with superclean to get the film off. Be careful where you put the superclean once the surface is clean though, it can and will take paint off.
