Go buy a caremel wheel and put it on the end of a drill.

Should be able to find one somewhere i got mine from Wurth.

Well it's spins- so if you leave it on too long, or push too hard- it will burn into the paint. Start light.
Otherwise- use your finger nails, heat it up, get wax and grease remover.
