motor oil on paint, what to do?

Hey guys,

It appears that i have some sort of oily substance that got on my car after it was in a garage over the weekend. I'm guessing it was motor oil because I parked in a garage next to an area where people work on their own cars. Anyways, I tried to spray it off with a hose, and wipe a but with a MF, but theres still some streaking.

My car has Opti-coat on it, and when I washed it a couple weeks ago I finished off with some dodo juice red mist tropical.

How should I go about getting this oil off the finish in a safe way? Will there be any harm in leaving it on there until I get a chance to do a full wash again (probably in a week or so)?

YES, remove with a solvent like stoners tar remover, rewash, then you should be good to go. The opti-coat should hold up just fine
