try a lambswool mitten using two buckets with tar removing shampoo and some warm water to get most of it off... when it is as clean as it will come without pressure on the mitten then use a clay bar... should be fine.

if it wont clay bar then your painter should be able to buff the mark out no probs.

Barry. My Diamond black e34 had a really bad one on the bonet when I bought it and I ended up having to have it painted it just too deep. This colour seems really prone to it. Park it carefully, not under any trees mate!!
