This question has probably been answered a thousand times but I am terrible at searching therefore thought this was easier.
Whats the best thing to use to get the spots of diesel oil on the rear of my car off? Noticed them since I remapped my car especially and simply washing it does not get them out. Thanks :)

They come off mine when i leather it after a wash, they just rub off.
Try washing and drying it then applying some good wax, that will mean that next time around they should come off very easily.

Try AG Tar Remover and this should take the diesel spots off. Make sure you use a polish and wax after application so that you've got another layer of protection between the paint and the elements. It will also make it easier clean your car too in the future.

I'd be inclined to try something like Surfex HD at about 3% with water and a drop of shampoo in a spritzer bottle. Use it as a pre wash, let it soak for a minute or two and rinse it off before doing a normal wash. If it's not too bad that should break it down enough to come off with your wash. It would also leave your wax intact, using a tar remover is going to strip any protection off.

Course, if it's really bad than tar remover is probably going to be your best bet, but you will need to add some protection afterwards and every time you use it.
