anyone know what can get Orange Juice off the car??!

So some idiot decided to drain a whole quart of spoiled orange juice all over my car while I was away at school. The stupid liquid has dried and stuck onto the paint and windows. I tried some dawn and soap.. but some of the stuff is not coming off still. And some of the orange juice is stuck inside the water run off areas of the car. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Sorry to hear about you car. That's really F'ed up that people don't respect what doesn't belong to them. Have you tried using a high pressure washer? Or hot water?

OJ from heck

Look for a recipe to remove citrus from clothing. usually hot water and baking soda. The idea is to heat up the sugars in the OJ to melting point, but keep the acid from eating the cloth (or paint in this case.) Go slow and repeat as needed. If you have any kind of polish on the paint, it should reduce the actual damage to paint. If the acid has eaten in to the paint, a good polishing rouge should minimize damage.
