Default Buffing Compound on front spoiler

Took my ZR-1 to a shop for detail work. I didn't notice it at the time until I got it in good light and saw that there was a white compound on the right front spoiler. I took back to the shop and, of course, they pleaded innocent and said that I did that. I didn't, of course, but they tried to clean and didn't do a very good job. I took it off the car and put it in a tub of Dawn dish detergent and left it overnight. That cleaned up a lot of it but there is some stubborn streaks on it. Anybody go through this before. One guy said to use isopropyl alcohol but that didn't do any good.

Try using a heat gun to soften up the compound. If it doesn?t disappear entirely, heat it up again and blot with a shop towel.
