I had some kind of rotted vegetable matter fused to the paint of my 87 - little black curly-cues - all over the hood and top. I tried soaking and washing and bug remover, etc.

I ended up using a magic eraser - it worked great with no damage to the (AFAIK) single stage paint.

Some body guys say the magic eraser is like 3000 grit sandpaper; some say it is more like 1500 - but in any case, I didnt use great care - it just worked. If you paint is already pretty ratty, you dont have much to loose.
