In addition to the miracle chemical cited by Bill Lane, there are at least two other techniques that will work: 1) Many people now use grit blasters, aka "air erasers", apparently to very good effect. This requires the initial investment in the equipment. I have never tried this technique myself. 2) I was told by John Verser to try isopropyl alcohol (regular rubbing alcohol) and a lot of gentle elbow grease. I used the broad end of a toothpick with very, very light pressure. This worked, but only to an extent. I found I had to finish the job by using wet sanding. The best way to do this in the limited space between rivet rows is to glue a small square of fine-grit sandpaper to a square of .040" styrene. Apply a drop of water and move the sandpaper block with the tip of your finger. Clean up with a damp sponge. The sanded paint will look different from the rest of the car, but that will disappear when a coat of flat finish is applied overall.
