He heated it first up with a hairdryer kind of device (but be sure not to overheat the paint).
Then he scratched it off with a screwdriver or something (at this point my heart stopped).
After this (my heart started to function again) he polished the surface with a cleener and then waxed it.
It worked out great but be careful!
