Advice - how to get rid of a stain on the paintwork caused by octane booster

Any ideas?

There's a yellowish brownish stain on my paint work that wont come off... I spilt some octane booster and didnt was it off.

I used Nulon Pro-strength Octane booster.

Thanks

first try wax

then maybe a mild mild mild rubbing compound.

also kerosene may take it off as well

Wash with good car soap first.
Use clay bar with lubricant.
Cleaner wax, with orbital polisher if you have one.
Polishing compound or swirl remover if the cleaner wax does not work.
Finish off with regular wax/polish (whatever you use) when you have the stain out.

Good luck.
