   Well, actually I have had that problem and I found two things that work
equally well:

      1)  I used mineral spirits and a little elbow grease 

      2)  I don't know if they have them where you are (I am assuming from
          the name that they do), but I took my car down to the local
          National Pride do-it-yourself car wash and used their tire cleaner
          on my bumper.  This worked quit nicely too.
