Try using buffing compound. It might buff it out of the paint. If it does work, make sure you polish the spot and then wax it again.

Wash the area thoroughly with a grease cutting soap like Dawn. Than use a rubbing compound (clear coat compound if you have a clear coat) or some other type of paint scrubbing compound and try rubbing out it by hand with that. You can try maybe using a cleaner wax first as it is the least abrassive method of removing stains and scratches. When you are all done getting the stain out (or have given up on it), be sure to polish and wax any areas that you used the harsh soap and/or rubbing compounds on. Those harsh chemicals will strip all of the wax and some of the top layer of paint (or clearcoat) off, leaving the finish unprotected.....

Good Luck....

If you get desperate, sometimes Bleche-Wite whitewall tire cleaner will get stains out of white paint.
