Help removing bio-diesel from paint

I just experienced the real negative issue of not being able to fill your own tank in Oregon. The attendant seemed to be very professional, but unfortunately he forgot to replace to filler cap. I only noticed this about 20 miles down the road. Our tow car was covered with diesel as well as the whole side of the motor home. My wife drove back to the station, got the cap, washed the car and returned to where I was sitting on the side of the highway.

2 days go by and I started to clean the side of the coach. Wrong, it only comes off a tiny bit at a time. I've tried warm soap and water, Meguiars waterless cleaner, Meguiars quik wax. Nothing works very well. Does anyone have a magic solution that get this stuff off easier?
