Mine was covered in overspray from a local bodyshop, T-cut took forever to do one patch, and so I told the bloke in the spray shop. He came out with a plug-in polisher (looks like a big angle grinder) and did the whole car with 3m fast-cut. It got it off, but could be really nasty stuff in the wrong hands! I dont think you will find any other way, other than T-cut, and you might have to resort to something stronger!

Try Metal polish. It's brilliant.
Just make sure you put a coat of resin on afterwards.

Sorry fellas to jump in and state the blooming obvious!!!!

If your paint work is metallic or has a laquer top coat DON'T use normal T-cut or any other abrasive. Use 'Metallic T-cut'if you have to. Try just using a good polish, i found this did the trick and the paint wasn't damaged and I got a layer of polish on too, rather that removing the ploish with and abrasive and then needing to polish it again.

I know to most this goes without saying, but if it saves one person screwing up the body work it is worth the post!
