Rinsed, shampooed, chamoise'd and rubbed in a polymer.

Job done!

If a good wash won't get it off and you don't want to go all out with the claybar, something like this might help

Clay bar with plenty of lube! I used meguires with their quick detailer for exactly this. Takes time, so don't be tempted to press harder!!!!

Car covers still damage the paint when the wind blows it about.
