Default oil from mirror on paint?

hey guys my mom has a 04 tahoe and she backed into the sonic sign leaving. and some oil or dimming fluid or something came out of the mirror and got on the paint me and my dad have been scrubbing for an hour on it. No luck at all was thinking about getting some of that goo gone or whatever. I tryed to upload pics but they were too big and wouldnt work. Anybody have any ideas? thanks..

That is a serious stain, and may penetrate the clear coat. If it does, you can scrub until your arm falls off, and it will not help.

Try a light polish.
