Clay it or use some iron x/ fallout remover. Should shift it.
Re: Undertary dirt removal. - brooker81 - 24-03-14

Re: Undertary dirt removal. - b1k3rdude - 24-03-14
a mixture of WD40 and Brake cleaner (not the combined brake/carb cleaner that you sometimes see and this will just melt the bellypan.

there's a whole world of paint knowledge and products out there so i would guess that if you don't know about it by now then you've little interest in spending a load of time learning about it. a great many products are not cheap either!
so given this i would strongly suggest investing in some gunk (or other engine cleaner), soaking a kitchen towel in it and leaving it to sit on your paint for a while. once it has soaked in to pretty much anything tar or insect based then remove the kitchen towel and work in some fresh gunk with a microfibre cloth until all proud road grime spots have come off.
once this is done then a general purpose cleaner/polisher/wax all in one product like mer or turtle wax worked in and buffed off with another microfibre will clean the paint and add a tiny bit of protection.
anything more than that will require a bit more investment on your part or a visit to a paint man.

I can suggest a few products for you no problems. can you post a couple of pics of what it is that you cant get rid of so we can give slightly better advice?
does it feel "rough" to run your hand over?

Re: Undertary dirt removal. - mickvp - 26-03-14
any clay should do you then, they sell meguiars stuff in halfords. Mild stuff should be adequate, just use plenty of lube (ooh errr).
