I have a bit of this as well - I guess the best way will be hot water when you wash it, and a bit of elbow grease

Megs Claybar, worked wonders on my car.

Do the cling flim test. Put a peice of cling film over your paintwork and rub your hand over it & you will feel the crap on your car!!!

Results after:

Nice hot bucket of water and Autoglym works for me. Be a bit more generous with the soap too
