IIRC, Autogym do a paint remover, or you could try their Bug and Tar remover. Alternativly(sp?) you could bring it to a bidy shop and see fi they could remove it without respraying it.

You probably need to machine polish it, I'm afraid, and not with one of those buffers they sell in Halford's.

Ask your question here and you'll get some answers from people who really know this sort of thing.

On further reflection, you should try using a clay bar first. Go to Halford's and get the Meguiar's Quik Detailer + Clay Bar package for about €20. It will probably do the business and is a lot cheaper than other options.
