Default Removing water based deck stain from paint?

Long story short water based deck overspray on my fender and hood it has been there for a few months unnoticed, parts were in storage, what's the best way to remove it and not damage the single stage paint?

If it's very light and a dry over spray, possibly a clay bar product?

Try Mineral Spirits on a soft rag.

If that don't work...… Buff & wax

Perhaps very judiciously wet sanding with 2000 paper?

Had that happen on my black Firehawk. Clay bar and buffing took care of it
