No not a dealer . If anything take it to a car detailer . Like a car wash place .

What would the car dealer do about it? I would try using a clay bar if the paint isn't too thick. Also try a bug & tar remover, I know Turtle Wax has a good one that works pretty well.

Clay bar will not hurt your paint, and should work just fine. You could also try solve all or paint thinner.

laquer thinner works great. just keep rubbing across white and it will come off. then you will need to wax.
