Glue and tar remover...or:
White spirits, turps, or meths.
Other stuff that might works is Isoproyl alcohol (tape head cleaner), or if none of teh above works: cellulose thinners definetly will (do not use if your car has had a cheap and nasty body repair).
Re-wax aftewards.

Do you want an **** answer? 
Ok, like it or not - your getting one 
In terms of car velting; yes it is polish then wax (well, clean, remove contamination, polish, then wax ). But in terms of a car already valeted; no, or at least it depends on the products used.
If you use a chemicle solution on a car that is presumably well polished, then the paintwork should not need polishing again.
Unless a resin polish is used (i.e a filler wax) on a badly matted paint surface, in which case the chemicles will remove the resin.
BTW I personally define "polish" as an abrasive compound to remove surface matting on paintwork. Unfortuately certain brands are just non-abrasive filler resins that just bling up a matted surface.
So in a nutshell: depends on what products you use to mainatain a car's bodywork.
I personally use abrasive polish, to achieve a "true" mirror finish followed by a protective wax. So if I use a chemicle cleaner, all I need is to re-wax the surface as obviously, the wax will be removed.
However, a person who uses resin polish on a well used paint surface will have to re-polish as well as re-wax

Always use them at work when someone writes on the whiteboard or desk in permanent marker
Just write over everthing that is already there, then wipe the lot off with a soft cloth

Ali I beat you again
Only your answer was much more thorough
First thing I would try is a dry wipe marker over the top, then see if it wipes off, works a treat on white boards
Failing that buy a gun find who did it and shoot them in the back of the head execution stylee

I would try a permant marker on a small bit of it and try rubbing it with a cloth. i know that works but not sure of the affect on paint work. May be worth a try on a small area.
cleaned it up a treat

Yep, I'd second that. Nothing abrasive to start off with.

Have removed marker pen with white spirit before, just stick plenty on and leave it to soak in for a while, then wipe off, and repeat until its all gone. Much less work than polish ( although any sort of T-cut scratch remover, Autosol etc... will work ) and wont wreck the paint.

FWIW, there's the old trick with dry-wipe boards (a comparison) - if you write on a dry wipe board/surface (
) with permanent pen, scribble over it with a dry-wipe marker and rub off!! 
I was shocked but it does work
Try it on a different surface
