try a good cleaner wax, and lots of elbow grease.

This thread is worthless without pics but try a clay kit after washing the car. The Meg's is pretty good for under $10. Split the clay in half, mash a half down flat and spray the clay and the car and keep it wet. Put it in the palm of your hand and use your fingers to feel the paint as you go. If you drop it, throw it away. Don't apply much pressure, just try and rub the contaminants away. If that doesn't do it, the next step is polish. By hand, ScratchX is a good mild hand polish and try that a small area at a time using plenty of pressure and work it in. If that doesn't do it, the next step involves a buffer. Polish doesn't contain wax so the next step if all is well is to wax. Let us know how far you get with clay and polish.
